They have already signed Jeremie Frimpong for a deal worth £30m, and will fork out another £45m for Milos Kerkez’s arrival from Bournemouth this summer.

Liverpool to sell fan-favourite title hero Luis Diaz for more than £60m
Luis Diaz has had his head turned by Barcelona, who have identified him as ther number one target to improve their attack ahead of next season.
Liverpool rejected Barcelona’s approach last season, but their decision not to offer the winger a new contract has further agitated the player to push for a move.
Diaz wants to join Barcelona, and according to the Catalan daily Sport, Liverpool are set to grant his wish in the ongoing transfer window.
The Merseyside giants are now open to negotiations for the winger, which is contrary to their public stance of not wanting to sell him.
Liverpool are set to entertain offers for him once they finalise the big-money arrival of Florian Wirtz in the coming days.
Diaz has offers from Saudi Arabia as well, but he is only interested in a move to Barcelona and wants Liverpool to set his asking price accordingly.
The Reds are expected to sell the winger if a club offer them around £60m.
