Yuri Berchiche Izeta (born 10 February 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Sociedad as a left back.
Born in Zarautz, Basque Country to an Algerian father and a Spanish mother, Berchiche started his career in the cantera of Real Sociedad, but left for rivals Athletic Bilbao at the age of 16. On 8 June 2007 Athletic and Tottenham Hotspur agreed on a transfer, and the player continued his footballing development in England at the club's academy: while playing for Tottenham's under-18 at the Eurofootb Tournament in Belgium, he was named "Player of the tournament", as the Spurs won the competition after beating R.S.C. Anderlecht 4–0 in the final.
Berchiche joined League One team Cheltenham Town on a month's loan, on 26 March 2009. Two days later he made his league debut, in a 1–1 away draw against Walsall.
In April 2009, Berchiche made a robust tackle on Scunthorpe United's Henri Lansbury (on loan from Arsenal), leaving his opponent with a suspected broken leg. Although he was not sent off for the challenge, Cheltenham manager Martin Allen ordered him to leave the field anyway; it was later revealed that Lansbury did not sustain any major damage to his leg.
