Alaves have signed Athletic Bilbao striker Asier Villalibre.

Villalibre moves to Alaves on-loan to the end of the season.

Alaves announced last night:

"Deportivo Alavés and Athletic Club have reached an agreement whereby Asier Villalibre reinforces the attack of the Albiazul team on loan until the end of this season.

"Villalibre [Gernika, 09/30/1997] is a striker who stands out for his physical power and ability to go into space. In addition, he has a great scoring nose.
