Javi Galan is delighted to have joined Real Sociedad.

The fullback has arrived on-loan from Atletico Madrid.

Galan said: "I am very happy, with a great desire to be here and soon with my teammates. La Real is a club that I have always had in mind, since previous summers, in which there has been interest, and I did not think about it.

"Furthermore, my mother and her family were here for 20 years, so as soon as the option came up I didn't think about it.

"Right now there are few clubs that are fighting for the three competitions, it is clear that this is an incentive, but also the club and the team that is Real. I am very eager to put myself under the orders of the coach as soon as possible."
