Lopetegui's side could also look to bring in another attacking midfielder, and a player who has been linked in this regard is Real Sociedad playmaker Bryce Mendes.
The Spaniard, who has scored six goals in all competitions so far this season (three goals and three assists), could leave Sociedad for around £49m – the price asked by La Liga.
