Report: Gaizka Toquero to join Eibar on loan

Athletic Bilbao forward Gaizka Toquero is reportedly close to joining Eibar on loan.

The 29-year-old is a popular figure with the Bilbao supporters, but has scored just 20 league goals for the Basque outfit since 2008.

Toquero spent a year on loan with Eibar in 2008 and according to Marca, the experienced forward will return for the 2014-15 season following their promotion to Spain's top flight.

As it stands, it is unclear whether the reported agreement will allow Eibar to make the move permanent at a later stage.
