Liverpool legend John Barnes would love to see Rafa Benitez sign Valencia winger David Silva.
The former Reds winger told The New Football Pools: "A move for winger / forward David Silva would be more realistic especially with Rafa Benitez's Spanish and club connection with Valencia.
"For me, the player would be a great signing as he is highly creative, gets goals and offers great attacking options to the team.
"A move for him would certainly make more sense than a lot of the names being spoken about. Silva's versatility would also appeal as he can play on either flank or in the hole currently held by Steven Gerrard.
"We also know he has a decent understanding with Fernando Torres from their Spanish national team so would make a great acquisition to an ever improving squad."
