Benitez plots EPL raid

Cape Town - Former Liverpool and Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez wants to add James Milner and Glen Johnson to his fledgling squad.

The Mirror report that James Milner and Glen Johnson could join Ashley Cole as English players in the Serie A.

Napoli, without the lure of Champions League football, are looking to bring in cheap options to bolster their struggling Serie A squad.

Liverpool right back Glen Johnson is out of contract at the end of the season with the Reds reportedly unwilling to meet his current deal at Anfield.

James Milner is still hopeful of a new deal at the Etihad after some putting in some good performances so far this season.

Both players will be able to seal a free transfer to the Naples club on January 1 should they fail to agree a new deal before then.
