Rafa: Carson can go
by Danny Wright
Liverpool manager Rafael Benetiz has told goalkeeper Scott Carson he can make his loan deal with Aston Villa permanent.
Carson is currently out on a season long-loan at the Midlands outfit and the 22-year-old recently revealed a permanent deal had been agreed between the two clubs.
The former Leeds keeper has been seldom used at Liverpool, having being shipped out on loan to Charlton and Sheffield Wednesday respectively.
Benetiz has told Villa they can have Carson if they want, and the Spaniard understands why he may want to leave the club.
"He knows Jose Reina is top class and it'll be difficult for him to play here. Villa can decide if they want to keep him," Benetiz told the club's official website.
"At the moment we are concentrating on our own team and our own competitions, but Villa can decide if they want to keep the player."
Carson is currently on England duty and is set to start against Austria in tonight's friendly in Vienna, and the Cumbrian born keeper believes his concentration holds the key.
“It has been a totally different challenge for me this season. Last season, when I was on loan at Charlton, I was having to make five or six saves a game,” Carson told BBC Sport.
"With a team like Villa this season, I am lucky to have to save one shot a game. That is why [Chelsea's] Petr Cech is probably the best 'keeper in the world because he has that one save to make and he does it."
"For me, I've had to work on different aspects of my game this season like concentration and that is the main thing."
