Vicente Guaita 'opts for a return to Spain with Real Sociedad' after starring for Crystal Palace this season having joined the Eagles in the summer of 2018

Vicente Guaita is close to agreeing a return to Spain with Real Sociedad.

The Crystal Palace goalkeeper, who joined the club from Getafe in July 2018, has earned rave reviews for his performances this season, with his standout display coming in the 1-1 draw against Tottenham last month when he made a number of astonishing stops.

However, the 34-year-old has opted to leave England and reject two offers from other clubs to join the high-flying LaLiga outfit, who currently sit sixth.
