Aaron Hunt 300[LNB]LIVERPOOL today distanced themselves from reports linking them with Werder Bremen hot-shot Aaron Hunt.[LNB]It had been claimed in the German media the Reds are planning a January swoop for the 23-year-old, who has scored three goals in his last three Bundesliga appearances.[LNB]Hunt - who is a German Under-21 international - is out of contract at the end of the current campaign and has caught the eye of a number of clubs across Europe.[LNB]The same reports also suggested Rafa Benitez was preparing to tempt Bremen into doing business early by using Ryan Babel as part of a swop deal.[LNB]However, he is not on Benitez's January shopping list and the club do not anticipate conducting any major business when the transfer window opens in the new year.[LNB]Benitez was expected back at Melwood today following the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea but the next week will be quiet for the manager, given that so many of his squad are on international duty.[LNB]However, he will be keeping a close eye on Alberto Aquilani, as the £20m midfielder continues to edge closer to making his first team debut.
