Liverpool are closing in on the £7 million signing of Espanyol winger Albert Riera. (News of the World)
The Spanish international has previous Premier League experience in the shape of a season at Manchester City.
Riera, 26, recently made his international debut for Spain which has in turn attracted the attentions of Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.
I personally didn't see much in Riera whilst he was at City. He was a decent left winger but that was all. I feel Liverpool need to set their sights higher than Riera if they want to challenge for the title next season.
