Ashgates are delighted to confirm the transfer of Kasper Schmeichel to Leicester City in a deal negotiated by Partner Tony Lymn.

Statement

I am delighted to confirm that I have today joined Leicester City.

I am looking forward to meeting all the lads and working with Sven Goran Eriksson, whom I regard as a world class manager.

I enjoyed my time at Leeds United and wish to thank the Leeds United fans for all their support and kind words. I wish the Club and the fans every success for the future.

This is a fantastic time to be joining Leicester City, I am looking forward to, and really excited about, being part of what will hopefully be a very successful season.
