Will the 17-year-old Liam van Nistelrooij be the future striker of PSV-1? It is now too early to answer that question, but the Eindhoven club has faith in the son of former trainer and former top striker of PSV, Ruud van Nistelrooij. He has a nose for the goal, PSV says on his website. Liam has signed a contract until 2028.
Father Ruud is in any case proud, he says via Instagram. The current trainer of the English Leicester City speaks of a ‘proud moment’.
Other people also respond positively to the first commitment that Liam agrees with PSV. Among them Arnold Bruggink. The former PSV attacker, who is now technical director of FC Twente, is even ‘super proud’.
That you as the son of a successful top athlete will also make it that far is to wait of course. One of the people or organizations that are happy to record Van Nistelrooij Junior is sitting: “New Legend in The Making.” Time will learn it.
Liam started his PSV career in 2017 at the O10. According to connoisseurs within the club, he has the instinct to be in the right place at the right time. In addition, penalties are always entrusted to him. He is also known as a player with game intelligence and leadership qualities.
Liam has already asserted himself well this season: in thirty games for PSV under 17 he scored twenty times. His team still fights on all fronts due to his scoring drive. The team of trainer Pieter Schrassert Bert has already become autumn champion and can become a general champion by taking the spring title or winning the final match. She can also win the cup.
