Kasper Schmeichel, the former Leicester City star goalkeeper, has signed a one-year deal with Anderlecht. This move comes after his departure from Nice, despite interest from Premier League clubs during the transfer window.
Schmeichel, who is the son of Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel, has made a name for himself in the world of football. He played a crucial role in Leicester City’s historic Premier League title win in the 2015-2016 season.
The Danish international’s contract with Anderlecht will run until the end of the current season. The Belgian club confirmed the signing on their official website, expressing their excitement to have Schmeichel as part of their squad.
Schmeichel’s decision to join Anderlecht comes as a surprise to many, considering the interest he received from Premier League clubs. However, it seems that the opportunity to play for the Belgian side was too good to pass up.
During his time at Nice, Schmeichel made 35 appearances for the French club. Despite his solid performances, it appears that he was not able to secure a long-term deal with the team.
Now, Schmeichel will be hoping to make a significant impact at Anderlecht. The club is currently competing in the Belgian First Division A and will be looking to strengthen their squad with the addition of the experienced goalkeeper.
Schmeichel’s experience and leadership qualities will undoubtedly be valuable to Anderlecht as they aim to achieve success in domestic and European competitions.
Only time will tell how Schmeichel’s move to Anderlecht will pan out. Football fans will be eagerly watching to see if the Danish goalkeeper can replicate the success he had at Leicester City and make a positive impact at his new club.
