Chelsea are reportedly set to face competition from Liverpool in the race to sign Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
The Dane delivered a stunning performance in his nation’s Round of 16 match against Croatia this week, but his three penalty saves were insufficient to deliver his side through to the quarter-finals.
Nevertheless, the 31-year-old appears to have caught the eye of a pair of Premier League giants.
With Chelsea’s interest in the shot-stopper reported yesterday, it has emerged today that Liverpool are also keen to secure the signature of the 6 ft 3 in colossus.
After Loris Karius’ nightmarish Champions League final, Liverpool have made a series of not-so-secret attempts to replace the German. Links with Jan Oblak, Alisson Becker, and Thomas Strakosha have failed to materialise into any signings, and manager Jürgen Klopp is beginning to look elsewhere.
Chelsea on the other hand are seemingly trying to preemptively fill the hole Thibaut Courtois is expected to leave when he departs Stamford Bridge, which is widely expected to be this summer.
Out of contract at the conclusion of the upcoming season, the West Londoners are likely to cash in on the Belgian number one while they still can.
