Athletic Bilbao table 6-year deal to Villarreal teen Igor Oyono

Athletic Bilbao are moving for Villarreal teen Igor Oyono.

Fifteen year-old Oyono, from Biscay, has been offered a six-year contract by Athletic, says Marca.

The forward, who will turn 16 in February, participated in the last U17 World Cup for Spain and has been playing in advanced categories for some time in the national team.

Last year, Oyono told Mundo Maldini: "I arrived at Villarreal when I was 12 years old. I played for Barakaldo, they called me and everything happened very quickly.

"My mother always tells me that we should concentrate on playing and not think about the future."
