Liverpool have taken Danish youth international Michael Elvers Tornes on trial.

The goalkeeper has impressed Rafa Benitez's scouts this season and he has been invited to try his luck at Liverpool's academy.

Tornes is currently with Danish minnows Bronshoj, after he left Lyngby.

The 18-year-old travelled to Merseyside on Sunday and will spend the rest of the week with Liverpool.

"He is with Liverpool for the next week, he has enjoyed his first sessions but it is far too early to discuss his future," his agent Martin Klette told skysports.com.

"He is a player that interests a number of clubs from around Europe but he is in Liverpool and we will see what happens."

Rafael Benitez will swoop for Valencia stars Mista and Vicente when the transfer window opens in January and could also swoop for Roberto Ayala who would have recovered from injury.

Mista has been frozen out at Valencia because the Spanish club believe he's already decided to go on a Bosman to Liverpool.

Benitez coached Mista at Valencia but he also tried to sell him at the start of last season following a disagreement.

Those differences were quickly forgotten, Benitez put his trust in Mista and he scored the goals which helped Valencia win the title. Mista also has the same agent as Benitez.

Vicente, a left midfielder, is also a Benitez favourite and a class act who is sure to be a Kop favourite.

Wonder if he'll try and use Kewell as part of the deal.

We'd still need a RW, Jaoquin is one of Rafa's favourites.

joaquin is one of my fav RWs, would definitely welcome him... but riquelme isnt bad either...

Riqi is class, but he's not a natural winger, more of a playmaker played on the right. I'd love to see us get him, but i'm not sure if he was the pace to play in the prem. Malbranque is similar to him in style, i'd like him.

Liverpool could still be in the hunt for Blackburn Rovers midfielder Barry Ferguson.

The Reds were in the chase for the Scottish midfielder while he was at Rangers, but never managed to clinch his signature.

Gerard Houllier was keen on Ferguson but now new Reds boss Rafa Benitez has his own ideas about his Anfield squad.

Benitez has already brought in Xabi Alonso to bolster his midfield but some have suggested that Ferguson could still be on the wanted list, with the Anfield board pointing Benitez in the right direction.

Agent John Viola says that Liverpool have had a continual interest in Ferguson, but as yet no new bid has come in.

"I spoke to Liverpool a couple of seasons ago when Gerard Houllier was manager and they made an £8 million offer to Rangers, but it was rejected," said Viola.

"Liverpool have always shown interest in Barry but at this stage there has been no approach from the new regime."

Any fresh bid seems unlikely for the moment, with Benitez keen on bringing in players from his native Spain, while Ferguson has struggled since his move to Rovers.

Can't see why we'd want Ferguson.
