Supposed Leicester City No.1 goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk actually lost his eminent Foxes status to veteran Asmir Begovic. The latter performed fairly satisfactorily when given a starting berth, showing the kind of steadiness one expects from a seasoned professional.
Although, this writer cannot come to terms with Begovic's clear failure to collect a simple cross in the last-minute draw versus Middlesbrough last season. It was a moment of fragility that undermined his otherwise commendable attempts to stabilise the goalmouth.
However, Stolarczyk is notorious for being a "dracula" 'keeper: seemingly petrified by the very sight of an incoming cross. As a matter of fact, goalkeeping coaches seem to be stuck in a counterproductive loop of teaching stoppers to punch weakly when a basic claim and hold would do.
Nevertheless, this writer certainly isn't the Steve Ogrizovic type, so it is best to leave the defensive glove-work to those giants among the population. If he stays, hopefully the man considered an academy product learns that the ball is not a live coal to be batted away in a panic.
Leicester City No.1 'keeper to leave as well?
As you can tell, Foxes of Leicester would not be particularly upset if the Pole, who was once so promising, departed. He was also spilling shots, struggling by foot and failing to charge from his line with any conviction during the 2025/26 campaign.
"Meczyki reports that Wieczysta Krakow are interested as they look to strengthen in goal.
Martin favours possession and ball-playing keepers. At Southampton, Gavin Bazunu often built attacks, and the Saints had the Championship’s highest average possession, above Enzo Maresca’s Leicester. Stolarczyk completed 67.1 percent of his passes last season"
Therefore, Stolarczyk remains a definite problem, yet he'd still probably flourish and be competent for League One competition. Though apparent interest exists in the goalie from a decent outfit in his home country, Wieczysta Krakow, offering a clean break for all parties.
Russell Martin's potential arrival as manager, as noted by OneFootball, may realistically accelerate this exit. The former MK Dons Swansea City, Southampton and Rangers boss's preference for ball-playing goalkeepers likely leaves no room for such lingering uncertainties.
