ATHLETIC Bilbao are expected to visit Southampton for next month’s Memorial Cup at St Mary’s.
Sources have indicated the Spanish side will compete in the pre-season triangular tournament, hosted by Saints, on July 23.
Bilbao, officially named Athletic Club, are coming off a sixth-placed finish in La Liga, which secured them a spot in the Europa League for the new campaign.
They promise to offer manager Nigel Adkins and his team some strong opposition as the club prepare for a return to the Championship.
A Premier League team, thought to be Wigan, will also compete in the Memorial Cup.
The line-up is due to be officially announced by Saints tomorrow.
The full story appears in today's Daily Echo.
