It was a good 24 hours for Real Sociedad supporters. His team took over his first win of the season at Espanyol on Saturday night, and a major signing is now about to be closed.

this week, La Real has stepped up its search by Mats Hummels. The 35-year-old defender, currently a free agent after his Borussia Dortmund deadline in June, has been in talks with officials from the Basque giants, and according to Chain SERan agreement in principle has now been reached.

Hummels will sign a one-year contract, which will include the option for an additional 12 months. The idea is for the deal to be signed on Monday, meaning he could be available for La Real's next La Liga game – against Alaves on Wednesday night.

Hummels arrived at Royal Society as the replacement for Robin Le Normand, who joined Atletico Madrid earlier this summer. As far as replacements go, you won't find much better, despite their age.
