Kamil Miazek could be handed a fresh start by Heerenveen after being released by Premier League outfit Leeds United, as reported by the Leeuwarder Courant.
Why it has taken this long for a talented goalkeeper to attract interest is anyone’s guess.
Miazek bid farewell to Elland Road two months ago but his name has been strangely absent from the gossip columns – until now, that is.
Reports from Holland claim that Heerenveen could offer the Polish shot-stopper a return to the Netherlands, four years after Miazek enjoyed a spell at Feyenoord.
The free-scoring Frisians are sixth in the Eredivisie at present, three points adrift of third-place PSV Eindhoven, but a lack of cover between the sticks remains an area of concern.
Erwin Mulder is the only proven, experienced goalkeeper in Heerenveen’s squad with the club struggling to replace departed veteran Warner Hahn.
Miazek, should he be handed a contract, will be tasked with challenging for the number one spot at a Heerenveen side who have conceded 11 goals in eight league matches so far this season.
Goal reported back in January that Steven Gerrard’s Rangers were interested in luring Miazek away from West Yorkshire before instead prioritising the more experienced option that was Scotland international Jon McLaughlin instead.
At the age of 24, Miazek has played just four league games in his senior career – and all of those came at Polish outfit Chojniczanka Chojnice back in 2016/17.
