Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde is delighted with the arrival of Ander Herrera.

The veteran midfielder has joined on-loan from PSG to make a celebrated return to his formative club.

Valverde enthused: "Ander is a player we know and who can help us a lot. He has experience in the big teams and he knows what it takes to play to win and he knows ours too. I am happy that he strengthens us because he can bring a lot of things on and off the pitch.

“His personality and his way of playing can be useful. Now you have to find your place. The team is stronger with his signature. He has the ability to play in many situations, but it's not the same now as when he was here a few years ago.

"He's not so young anymore, now he has more experience."
