The transfer gossip has been flooding in this week. This morning, rumours broke from sources including The Athletic’s Joshua Kloke that Toronto FC are close to signing Athletic Bilbao attacking midfielder Ager Aketxe (spelling that took a few tries).
The undersized 24-year-old attacker has been part of the La Liga club’s development system pretty much his whole career, spending time at feeder club Basconia, and B-team Bilbao Athletic.
He spent some of 2017 on loan at Spanish second-division club Cadiz. Aketxe has made 14 first-team appearances for Bilbao, scoring one goal.
