Metro have Liverpool fans looking up here in the Football Transfer Tavern desperate to hear what they have to say as it seems the club are closing in on a move for Asier Illarramendi.
The Real Madrid defensive midfielder is looking for a new club this summer and wants to play football week in, week out, and that would certainly be something that was on the cards at Anfield.
We think that at £16 million, it is a no brainer, with Illarra one of the most underused players around who can actually offer a huge amount to a side.
He never really got his chance at Real Madrid, but according to our landlord, both Arsenal and Liverpool should be looking to give him a second chance.
Liverpool fans. Would this be one of the best moves you could make this summer? Is he the missing piece? Let us know your thoughts below.
