“Ruud van Nistelrooy’s SHOCKING Leicester City Championship Pick Could Save BILLIONS and Change Football FOREVER!”

Ruud van Nistelrooy believes Jakub Stolarczyk has already proven himself at Premier League level and could be Leicester City’s first-choice goalkeeper next season.

Stolarczyk is set to start the final matches of the season, beginning with this weekend’s clash against Southampton, following Mads Hermansen’s groin surgery.

While the opportunity might appear to be a chance for the Pole to stake a claim for next season’s number one spot, van Nistelrooy says Stolarczyk has already shown he’s capable.

The 24-year-old previously featured in seven matches during December and January when Hermansen was sidelined with injury.

His performances were solid, most notably in the 2-1 victory over Tottenham, where he played a crucial role in securing the win—his standout display to date.

Although Hermansen returned immediately after that game, Stolarczyk’s upcoming run of four matches may lay the foundation for a longer stint as City’s first-choice keeper.

Should he impress again, it could save the club from needing to spend heavily on a new goalkeeper this summer, allowing them to reinforce other areas of the squad.

Asked on Thursday if Stolarczyk has the potential to be the long-term number one, van Nistelrooy responded: “He proved in the games he played that he’s developed himself into a Premier League keeper.

It’s a great opportunity for him, and for another homegrown player, to play four games and add that to the experience he already had. It’s a good situation.”

With transfer interest expected in Hermansen, who is considered one of the club’s most valuable assets, Stolarczyk’s emergence could be timely.

His performances in the final matches may shape the club’s goalkeeping plans for the upcoming campaign.
