Subi Mendi, the big midfielder from Real Sociedad, has emerged as the ideal candidate in Liverpool's eyes.

Liverpool are interested in his versatility on the field and his ability to organize the team's attack, and believe that his arrival will greatly improve the team's midfield control and attacking efficiency.
