Madrid - Japan's Takashi Inui is on his way back to his former La Liga club Eibar from Real Betis for an undisclosed fee, the Basque outfit announced on Wednesday.

The attacking midfielder and both clubs "reached an agreement for the player to sign for three seasons until June 30, 2022", Eibar said in a statement.

Inui, 31, with 36 caps for his country, joined Eibar from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2015 and moved on to Real Betis after three seasons.

He notched up 11 goals in 94 appearances during his first stint at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium.

Betis loaned him to Alaves in January this year where he finished the campaign, playing 12 games and scoring twice.
