Hull City manager Steve Bruce admits he is thrilled with the recent captures of Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore.
The Tigers have clinched the midfield pair from Tottenham, bringing in Huddlestone permanently and Livermore on a season-long loan, and is hoping they can bring a little bit of extra bite in the centre of the pitch.
"To agree a fee with Tottenham and then to persuade the two boys to come here, to enjoy playing here, we're delighted with the business we've done," Bruce said.
"It just shows what the Premier League is all about. To get two England players to come here at this time is terrific for us.
"Every manager is never, ever satisfied and I'd be happy with one more in but if we didn't do anything else then we've done very, very well with what we have managed to bring in.
"It's given us a huge chance of staying in the division, especially these two; this has got everyone to sit up and take notice of what we're trying to do.
"That's how far we've come in 12 months and that's what the Premier League can do."
Hull return to the Premier League this weekend with a trip to highly-rated Chelsea on Sunday.
