Liverpool have been linked to a move for Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez this summer but for me he is far too similar a player to Robbie Keane for it to work for him at Anfield. It does seems likely that the little Argentine will be on his way out of Old Trafford after his loan deal expires after growing frustrated at dropping down the United pecking order, but I’d be surprised if he ended up at Liverpool.

Both nations kicked off their Euro 2008 Group D games with wins and look odds on to reach the knock-out stages. However, it was Spain who looked the most impressive in their 4-goal demolition of Russia with Valencia star and top target of much of the Premier League David Villa scoring a hat-trick.

Due to my love for all things sun, sea and sangria, it was no surprise to discover that my perfect surrogate country to adopt for this year’s European Championships is Spain. And this time, even after all those prior disappointing competitions, I don’t think it’s a rooky mistake what with the delights of Fernando Torres made all the more promising by his international partnership with Villa.

Striker David Villa is set to leave his club Valencia this summer with Read Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham all linked with the diminutive star.This week Cesc Fabregas has urged the Gunners to sign his Spanish compatriot who may be the perfect foil for the Togolese man-mountain Emmanuel Adebayor.
