Celtic have confirmed the signing of Kasper Schmeichel as the Denmark No1 takes over from the retired Joe Hart.
The Hoops have been in the market for a new shotstopper after legendary Hart decided to hang up his gloves. Now, Brendan Rodgers has finally got his wish after being reunited with his former Leicester City captain, Schmeichel. The Scottish champions had scoured the globe for a new first-choice keeper, with £8million-rated Sparta Prague star Peter Vindahl Jensen among their top targets.
But Rodgers has opted for a safe pair of hands in the vastly experienced Schmeichel, who played in all four Euro 2024 games for Denmark. The 105-times capped star was a free agent after spending a year in Belgium with Anderlecht. Schmeichel – who turns 38 in November – was part of Leicester City’s fairytale Premier League-winning story.
