Asier Illarramendi is attracting interest from the Premier League despite looking close to leaving Real Madrid for a return to Real Sociedad.
AS say Southampton and Liverpool are keen on the midfielder and it is the Saints leading the way, trying to steer Illarra to England even though his move back to Anoeta was almost done.
The Guardian, meanwhile, have Tottenham Hotspur as interested in the 25-year-old and add that La Real’s preference to loan Illarra over Madrid’s desire for a permanent deal could open the door.
