Liverpool look to be making significant progress in their efforts to sign two players from La Liga to complete their summer spending, according to various recent reports.
The Reds are set to land two superb talents for relatively cheap, with manager Brendan Rodgers hoping to strengthen in midfield in particular.
In moves that could frustrate Arsenal and Real Madrid, Liverpool want to land this Spanish-based duo:
