Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has signed a new five-year contract extension.
The 31-year-old joined from Leeds in 2011, playing a key role in Leicester’s promotion from the Sky Bet Championship in 2013/14 before playing every minute of their Premier League-winning campaign two years later.
The Danish international had attracted interest from Chelsea and Roma earlier this summer after an impressive showing at the World Cup in Russia.
