Kasper Schmeichel: Former Leicester goalkeeper joins Anderlecht

Former Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has signed a one-year contract with Belgian side Anderlecht.

The 36-year-old was a free agent after leaving Nice by mutual consent last week, which meant he could join a new club outside the transfer window.

"Anderlecht is just a massive club," said the Denmark goalkeeper.

"Former team-mates from different places have always talked so highly and warmly of this place. It was something I really wanted to become part of."

Schmeichel made 46 appearances in all competitions for Nice last season after joining the Ligue 1 side on a free transfer from Leicester.
