Liverpool 'swoop' for Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rafael van der Vaart
With manager Rafael Benitez urgently needing reinforcements, The Sun reports that the much-touted loan deal for former Manchester United striker Van Nistelrooy will be agreed "in the next few days".[LNB]But, although Liverpool hope to conclude a six-month loan deal for Argentina winger Maxi Rodriguez, the paper also reports that 26-year-old winger Van der Vaart could also be on his way to Anfield in a "dramatic double swoop".[LNB]The major sticking point in any deal for Van Nistelrooy, whose contract with the Spanish side expires at the end of the season, is the striker's estimated £140,000 weekly wage packet. [LNB]That could see Liverpool turn their attentions to Aston Villa's Emile Heskey, the former Liverpool forward.[LNB]
