Liverpool very Close to Sealing $45million worth Quality Signings

Like the Manchester clubs and Leicester City, Liverpool have also won their opening two Premier League games. Can they make it three wins on the trot when they face Arsenal at the Emirates next?
The Reds are still active in the transfer window and according to reports in the media, Liverpool are very close to sealing two more quality signings.
Metro cite reports in Spain claiming that the Merseysiders are on the verge of signing Real Madrid midfielder Asier Illarramendi. As per the provided link,  the former Real Sociedad star’s exit is inevitable and he is rated around $25million by the Los Blancos.
Illarramendi has mainly warmed the bench since moving to the Bernabeu and signing for Liverpool is arguably the best option for him.
On the other hand, the Reds are very eager to sign another playmaker and reports suggest that Liverpool are now ready to meet the asking price of $20million to secure the signature of Lazio star Keita Balde.
The African star scored four goals and provided four assists in twenty nine games for the Serie A side last season.
