LONDON: Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is to join Ligue 1 side Nice from Leicester City, having been a mainstay of the most successful period in the Premier League club’s history. The 35-year-old, whose 11-year spell with the Foxes saw him win the Premier League, FA Cup and Community Shield, will join the French side for what Leicester said was “an undisclosed fee.” Leicester captain Schmeichel, whose 479 appearances are the third most in the club’s history, was a key figure in the their shock 2015/16 Premier League title triumph and maiden FA Cup final win in 2021.

Predicted finish – 10th Leicester head into the 2022/23 season looking to break back into the top six after a eighth place finish last campaign. It’s been a frustrating close season for the Foxes, with the club not exactly moving at a rapid pace in the transfer market. That will certainly have to be addressed in the final month of the transfer window, it could mean that the side who picked up the Premier League title six years ago are facing a tough prospect of reaching their top six target. On a brighter note, the Foxes have picked up four straight friendly wins in preseason although it remains to be seen if that form will be reflected n the Premier League. It’s been deathly quiet to date on the transfer front for Leicester, with no new signings at the time of writing. More worrying perhaps is the number of first-team players that have been linked with a move away from the team in recent weeks. Kasper Schmeichel has all but sealed a move to Ligue 1 side Nice after 11 years with the club, whilst Chelsea are reportedly looking at central defender Wesley Fofana and Arsenal are keeping a close eye on Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans. Much will be seen what Brendan Rodgers can do with the money receives, but having a squad overhaul on the verge of the start of the season is not ideal for the club as they look to push back into European football this season.
