Real Sociedad boss David Moyes has admitted interest in Real Madrid midfielder Asier Illarramendi.

The former La Real star is also wanted by Athletic Bilbao.

Moyes remarked: "I know the player and his qualities well. When I was at Everton I looked at him.

"It seems that Real Madrid don't want to use him and I'd be delighted if he came here, but we need all the information from Madrid so that we can see what might happen."
