Eibar weighs central or wing role for versatile Nolaskoain

As Eibar ramps up its 2026 preseason, the versatility of Nolaskoain between defense and wing positions has become a hot topic. Starting his career as a midfielder, the player switched to centre‑back early 2026 and quickly emerged as one of the most reliable defenders in the second tier.

Coach Jokin Aranbarri is weighing the option of deploying him on the flank to balance a squad already packed with five centre‑backs. The final decision will shape the team’s tactical flexibility.
