Aritz Aduriz - the striker that played both at Valencia CF and Athletic

The player from Guipuzcoa was a Valencia CF player for 2 seasons and Athletic Club de Bilbao legend

Valencia CF will host Athletic Club de Bilbao this coming Saturday, January 20 at 18:30 at Mestalla. A match with a lot of history and with great players of the stature of striker Aritz Aduriz.

Aritz Aduriz is synonymous with goals in LaLiga. Fruit of this, were the two Zarra trophies (top national goal scorer in the season) he achieved (2014-15/2015-16). This great goal-scoring ability led him to be called up with the Spanish National Team to play a qualifier for Euro 2012 against Lithuania and even play in Euro 2016.

The player from San Sebastian joined Valencia CF in the summer of 2010 and played for Valencia CF for 2 seasons (2010-11/2011-12) in which he scored 29 goals and provided 6 assists in 99 games played.

Other great strikers who have worn both shirts are: Valencianista legends Mundo Suárez and Guillermo Gorostiza, who were part of Valencia CF's 'delantera eléctrica' in the 1940s.
