Toronto FC has strengthened its midfield with the acquisition of Spaniard Ager Aketxe.

The MLS champions have scheduled a news conference for Friday to announce a player signing. A source confirmed it was to unveil the former Athletic Bilbao midfielder.

Aketxe becomes Toronto’s third major signing this season, joining Dutch international defender Gregory van der Wiel and Brazilian wingback Auro.

Athletic Bilbao parted ways with Aketxe earlier this month, saying he was headed to Major League Soccer.
