It wasn’t so long ago that the Danish press were, without smirking, linking Kasper Schmeichel with a move to Real Madrid. The Leicester City goalkeeper had been very weakly linked with a move to the Spanish and European champions, and the Danish media grasped it, took it far more seriously than it should have been taken, and ran with the idea for a while.
Thankfully, that slant has now been dropped, but it’s still considered likely that Schmeichel leaves Leicester during the next transfer window. In a feature on Danish internationals potentially on the move, the Foxes stopper is the star man, and he’s given a 4 footballs out of 6 chance of moving.
With Ronald Koeman actively looking to sign a goalkeeper, Everton look the better fit right now, even if there’s been no strong links to Goodison Park.
