Jon Karrikaburu set for Burgos after Real Sociedad agreement | OneFootball

According to AS, Burgos and Real Sociedad have agreed a deal for Elizondo-born striker Jon Karrikaburu, with confirmation expected shortly.

Sergio Francisco being Burgos's new head coach may have swayed the 23-year-old, despite interest from other Segunda División clubs. The pair know each other well from different stages at Real Sociedad.

Burgos have long pursued Karrikaburu but previously failed to convince him to head to Castilla. He is set to join on a two-year contract.

The Navarrese forward previously had loan spells at Andorra and Racing de Santander, where he produced his best numbers. He featured little in pre-season and has not been involved at the start of this campaign for the San Sebastián club.

He did not train with his team-mates this morning and an announcement is expected soon. At Burgos, Karrikaburu and Álex Forés will be tasked with lifting the output after Fer Niño was sold to Elche.
