Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola wants Kasper Schmeichel as his new sweeper-keeper at the Etihad Stadium

Manchester City could become the latest Premier League club to re-sign a former player by making a move for Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Pep Guardiola, whose team will qualify for the Champions League if they take at least a point at Watford this afternoon, wants a new keeper after the decision to axe Joe Hart backfired.

Claudio Bravo, who replaced Hart last summer, has suffered poor form and injury since arriving from Barcelona.
