my cpu cooler is Asetek 591LX 360mm High Performance CPU Cooler - 20xx

my case is Corsair Graphite 760T V2 Full Tower Case - Black

ive got my cpu cooler mounted on the top of the case

im located in England 

my budget is around £10 per fan, a pack of 2 would be ideal as it would work out cheaper,

thanks.

Why 2 fans for a 360mm rad?

i have 5 fans on there already, looking to put another one on and put another fan in the case, sorry was not very descriptive when i made this post

So a single red fan on the rad and another fan for a rear case exhaust?

What fans are you currently using?

I was asking for the model names of the fans currently being used. 

Where are you using the 2 new fans?

oh sorry, i have 2 corsair af120 120mm fans on the cpu cooler, and the rest on the cpu cooler are ones that came with the cpu cooler, the 2 in the front are ones that came in the case, same for the 140mm one in the back of the case.

If you're using the stock cooler fans in push and AF120's in pull, you can get a twin pack of matching fans for the same aesthetic.

If you want to use the stock cooler fans in pull, Magma Advances would be a bit better: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/kFBv6h/enermax-case-fan-ucmaa12a

what about something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-AF120-LED-Quiet-High-Airflow/dp/B00F6S0XJO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539022960&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+fan+red

It's not as good as the original ringed AF120 QE's but they perform fine and would match better if those are the fans you already have.
