Rafa to go head-to-head in battle for Lewis

Rafa Benitez is reported to be going head-to-head with Alex Ferguson in a battle to sign Peterborough’s giant goalkeeper Joe Lewis.

Lewis kept a clean-sheet against Wrexham last Tuesday, with Rick Parry in the stands watching closely. Alex Ferguson is also a keen admirer of the 20-year-old and attended the same game.

Peterborough’s director of football Barry Fry is excited by the potential of the player by stating: “Joe is an incredible prospect and it’s no surprise big people are watching.”

England Under-21 gaffer Stuart Pearce is also watching Lewis’ progression as the 6′5″ goalkeepers popularity soars.
