Andoni López Saratxo (Basque pronunciation: [andoni lopes̻]; Spanish pronunciation: [anˈdoni ˈlopeθ]; born 5 April 1996) is a Spanish footballer who plays for UD Almería on loan from Athletic Bilbao as a left back.

Club career

Born in Barakaldo, López graduated from the Athletic Bilbao academy in 2014, having joined the Lezama youth setup in 2006.[1][2] After two seasons with the C-team (during which period he also played in the UEFA Youth League and the Premier League International Cup),[2] he was promoted to the reserves on 7 June 2016.[3] On 22 August, he made his debut in the third tier, playing the whole ninety minutes of a 3–0 victory against UD Socuéllamos.[4]

In February 2018, López was called to the senior squad by manager José Ángel Ziganda for a domestic league fixture against Girona FC as a replacement for the injured Mikel Balenziaga.[1] On 4 February, he made his first team debut in the match, playing the entire ninety minutes and conceding a penalty in the first half of a 2–0 defeat.[1][5]

On 17 August 2018, López was loaned to Segunda División side UD Almería until the end of the season.[6]
