Ander Herrera rejoins Athletic Bilbao on a loan deal
Here is what the midfielder had to say about his return: "Since I left Athletic you will have always heard me talking about how special this club is. I think even if you leave Athletic, Athletic never leaves you. This club changes you, that's how it is. Athletic leaves a mark on you that is difficult to match in other places.
"I can't wait to get started, I've imagined it many times during these last couple of weeks. I'm really looking forward to meeting up again with some teammates I've played with before."
Ander Herrera was expected to leave on a free transfer after terminating his contract with the club. But, he has now sealed a loan move back to Spain after spending time at Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG are now working to offload several other players before the end of the transfer window and trim their squad further.
