French Ligue 1 outfit OGC Nice have confirmed the signing of Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel after a completed medical on Tuesday.
The Denmark international penned a three-year contract at Allianz Riviera, keeping him tied to the club until five months short of his 39th birthday.
In a summer where the Foxes have not made a first-team addition, it had initially been expected that Brendan Rodgers would look to keep the senior players in the dressing room.
However, the Leicester boss acknowledged earlier this week that Schmeichel’s situation would be assessed with the Dane having spent the past 11 years at the King Power Stadium.
His first three years at the club were spent in the Championship, Schmeichel participating in every league fixture during 2013-14 as Leicester won the second-tier title with a record points total.
Despite having only narrowly avoiding relegation during their first campaign back in the top flight, the East Midlands outfit would win the Premier League the following season at betting odds of 5,000/1.
