The total ostracism of the Navarrese goalkeeper catapults him to LaLiga Smartbank
Everyone knows that the goalkeeper Unai Simon will remain the undisputed owner of the athletic club, even with the change of coach. The Alava goalkeeper is also the owner of the goal in the selection Spain and now what he needs most is minutes to get to the World Cup in good shape.
This means that one of the goalkeepers in the Leona squad will remain in the ostracism if you decide to stay in San Mamés. We talk about Navarre Jokin Ezkieta, who did not accumulate a single second of official competition in this last season. However, his story in the Bilbao team I could end and start a new one with him Racing of Santander.
Everything ready for Racing to rescue the ignored Athletic thanks to Unai Simon
The Verdiblanco squad comes with high morale as it is one of the 4 promoted to LaLiga Smartbank and also for being the champion of the RFEF First Division. His coach Guillermo Fernández knows that he needs good signings since the silver league is nothing like the bronze one. The degree of competition there is somewhat similar to that of LaLiga Santander.
His goal is perhaps one of the areas that needs the most attention since Lucas Díaz will leave his squad. Although he is not the starting goalkeeper, the Madrid coach wants a goalkeeper with first-class experience to complement Miquel Parera. The operation for Jokin Ezkieta to land in El Sardinero will be by loan with a purchase option.
Jokin Ezkieta had a very bad time at Athletic thanks to Unai Simón and Julen Agirrezabala
Unai Simón accumulated a total of 3,150 minutes spread over 35 games throughout the season. As we can see, he did not manage to be in all the league commitments, but his substitute was not Jokin Ezkieta but one of the youngest in the squad. We are talking about Lezama’s puppy Julen Agirrezabala.
Incredibly, the Athletic youth squad accumulated at least 720 minutes with the first team and 2,340 with Bilbao Athletic. On the other hand, Ezkieta understands that the change of coach could bring him opportunities within the team, but the best thing will be for him to secure his minutes away from Athletic Club and Racing is his first option.
