Kasper Schmeichel leaves Leicester City after 11 years at the club

Leicester City captain Kasper Schmeichel has left the club to join OGC Nice in Ligue 1. The goalkeeper, 35, has been with the Foxes for the last eleven years. He helped them earn promotion into the Premier League in 2013/14, and also helped them win the Premier League a couple years later. 

He also won the FA Cup and Community Shield with the club, and after 479 appearances, is on his way to France for what seems to be the final chapter of his career.

Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: “Throughout his time with us and particularly as a captain and vice-captain, Kasper has always been a player willing to stand up and take responsibility, leading the team with distinction.

“His influence and his leadership on and off the pitch speak volumes about him as a professional, as a football player and as a human being.

“I know Leicester City supporters share the respect we all have for a player of Kasper’s standing after all his accomplishments as a footballer and captain and will join me in wishing him the very best for the next stage of his career in France.” 

The goalkeeper has followed Aaron Ramsey to the French club, and leaves the Foxes as a legend. Kasper Schmeichel remains in contention to play the World Cup as Denmark’s first-choice goalkeeper at the end of the year.
