Roma legend Giuseppe Giannini has exclusively told Goal.com that Alberto Aquilani will be the perfect signing for Liverpool once Rafael Benitez lures him to Anfield.

Aquilani has been strongly linked with the Premier League club of late. Italian reports suggest he has agreed personal terms, but that has not been confirmed officially. In light of the developments from Merseyside, Goal.com caught up with Giannini for an exclusive insight into what the Reds can expect should they complete the Aquilani move.

"Aquilani would do well at Liverpool," Giannini told Goal.com.

"He would not have any problems adapting to the Premier League. English football is perfect for Aquilani. He has all the right characteristics to do well there. He will show Liverpool what he is all about.

"I have no doubts that Liverpool will sign a great player in Aquilani. I think his future will be in the Premier League."

A transfer fee has been agreed and all that is left to complete the deal is for Aquilani to agree to personal terms with Liverpool and pass a medical.
