Athletic Bibao midfielder Oihan Sancet has signed an eight-year contract extension through to 2032.

The 22-year-old has quickly become one of Athletic's standout players, while his potential to keep improving is an exciting prospect for all Athleticzales. He is the side's top goalscorer at the moment, with eight goals from his attacking-midfield position.

The player signed his deal at San Mamés with president Jon Uriarte and director of football Mikel González. It was Sancet himself who announced his long-awaited renewal to the fans at The Cathedral at the end of the match against Getafe CF.

"I'm happy. This is my home, where I want to be. Athletic is a big draw for players from the Basque Country and I want to be here. There is no better club to progress as a footballer and as a person," Sancet said about his contract.

"The Club made a strong commitment to me when I was a youth player, and it is doing so again now with a very ambitious project. I want to repay all the trust placed in me."
