Liverpool pair Peter Crouch and Sami Hyypia could soon commit their futures to the club.

That is the view of Reds boss Rafa Benitez after speculation that both could leave in the summer, particularly Crouch, who has often been used as substitute and has been targeted by Manchester City and Portsmouth.

But Benitez believes the striker will soon commit to a new long-term contract, while veteran Hyypia wants to complete 10 years at Anfield and will agree a one-year extension.

"I have talked to both at different times. You never know, but I think they could be done soon," said Benitez.

"Rick Parry (chief executive) told me Peter's agent wanted to talk to him about a new contract. This was one month ago or more.
