Kasper Schmeichel drops prediction about Leicester City successor Mads Hermansen
Leicester City goalkeeper Mads Hermansen works with compatriot and Foxes legend Kasper Schmeichel whenever he is away on international duty
Leicester City legend Kasper Schmeichel has declared that he is looking forward to seeing how his international understudy and current Foxes stopper Mads Hermansen progresses in the coming years having already showed that he belongs at the top level.
Hermansen and Schmeichel are both currently away with the Danish national team and the latter kept a clean sheet as they impressively saw off Portugal 1-0 in their Nations League clash on Thursday evening.
The 38-year-old, who made almost 500 appearances for City and won four separate pieces of silverware during his time at the King Power Stadium, has 112 caps for Denmark and won his country’s footballer of the year award in 2016, 2019 and 2020. Still established as the Red and Whites’ number one, Schmeichel is seeing first hand the next generation.
The current Celtic stopper, reunited this past season with Brendan Rodgers, has been working with both Hermansen and Chelsea keeper Filip Jorgensen over the last number of international breaks and is excited by the coming wave of talent who’ll one day be succeeding him.
