Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera and Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente are transfer targets for Athletic Bilbao, according to the club’s new director of football Rafa Alkorta.
In an interview with Spanish radio network Cadena SER, Alkorta said: "We are interested in Javi Martinez, Ibai Gomez, Ander Herrera, Fernando Llorente... all of them interest us."
As part of club policy, Athletic Bilbao only sign players born in the Basque Country or who came through the youth ranks of Basque clubs.
Both Herrera and Llorente meet that criteria and have already had previous spells at the club, playing 128 and 327 games for Bilbao respectively.
