Real Sociedad to hand Ander Bardaji first-team chance

Ander Bardaji will reportedly be promoted to Real Sociedad's first-team squad for the new season.

The 19-year-old is widely regarded as one of the most talented goalkeepers in Spain and has been tipped for a bright future with Sociedad.

According to Inside Spanish Football, Claudio Bravo's departure to Barcelona has opened up a role in the Sociedad first-team squad for the new campaign, which will be filled by Bardaji.

Bardaji's performances for Spain Under-19s have also attracted a host of outside interest.

Enaut Zubikarai is expected to be Sociedad's number one next season.
