Albert Riera is heading for Anfield in a £10million deal that will spell further frustration for Everton and all but end Gareth Barry’s hopes of joining Liverpool.
Riera set to turn Red: Espanyol winger Albert Riera has become Rafael Benitez's midfield transfer target

Liverpool have been crying out for a left-sided specialist to add width to an otherwise one-dimensional approach, and Riera’s imminent arrival finally completes the jigsaw,
