Athletic has taken advantage of the fact that Ekain Azkune was ending his contract with Real Sociedad to reach an agreement with the forward. Thus, the 23-year-old footballer will commit to the red and white team for three seasons.
This is stated by Noticias de Gizpuzkoa, which points out that in principle Ekain Azkune is called to play for Bilbao Athletic, especially if Gurpegui’s team manages to be promoted to the First Federation. Emissary of the Basque team had been following the forward for some time and witnessed the hat trick he scored for Real Sociedad against Real Unión.
Ekain Azkune and the other Athletic signings for their subsidiary
As we reported in LAOTRALIGA, Athletic confirmed some time ago the incorporation “immediately” for the youth team of Igor Oyono from Biscay, an international Under-17 forward who arrives from Villarreal. With him and Ekain Azkune there are already five signings that the Basque team has guaranteed for next season.
Igor Oyono, born in Barakaldo and who turned 16 on February 7, played in the recent U-17 World Cup in Indonesia being two years younger than most of his teammates on the Spanish team. Among them was Barcelona player Marc Guiu, with whom he shared the lead in several matches.
In addition to the signing of Igor Oyono, Athletic confirmed the immediate arrival for the youth of defender Iker Quintero (Osasuna) and for the next season of forward Endika Buján (Barakaldo) and defenders Xabier Irurita (Tudelano) and Javier Elías (Portugalete) , these last three for Bilbao Athletic or Basconia, their subsidiaries.
