Borini scored several crucial goals for Sunderland last season to help them escape relegation while Suso proved his worth in La Liga, providing eight La Liga assists.

Meanwhile, Reina's future at Anfield looked over but his agent recently revealed that after a productive season at Napoli he is ready to return as he still has two years left on his contract with the Merseysiders.
