Benat keen to prove worth

Athletic Bilbao midfielder Benat has vowed to impress next season after struggling during his first campaign with the Basque outfit.

The Spaniard joined Bilbao from Real Betis last summer following a brilliant 2012-13 campaign, but struggled to produce his best form last season.

"I feel as though I've got a bit more than just enthusiasm inside me, because this is a new season," he told Euskadi Radio.

"I'm really keen to show what I can do, so let's see if everything turns out okay. I know that I can do well. This year I want to demonstrate that I can play here."

Benat turned down a host of interest to join Bilbao last summer.
