Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte is ready to commit himself to Spain.

Capped at U21 level by France, Laporte also qualifies for Spain and Marca says he is ready to pledge his international future to the La Roja.

Fed-up with being ignored by Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps, he has decided to play for Spain.

Laporte, who has played for France at all junior levels, is regarded among the best young defenders in Europe, but has never been considered by Deschamps.

Indeed, the pair have never spoken, even after he was seriously injured playing for the U21s.
