RAFA WANTS XABI TO STAY AT ANFIELD

Jimmy Rice 17 April 2009

Rafa Benitez has spoken of his desire to keep Xabi Alonso at Anfield this summer.

The 27-year-old has enjoyed a fine season after speculation about his future following Spain's Euro 2008 triumph.

Benitez said: "The first year was really good and this year he is also playing really well.

"Xabi has been having a very good season; he has been playing well in a lot of games and is a key player for us.

"We have a lot of confidence in him because he is playing really well and he is a player we want to keep because he has the quality, and the game, that we need."
