Claude Puel: 'No offers for Kasper Schmeichel'

Leicester City boss Claude Puel has said that the Foxes have received no offers for Kasper Schmeichel.

The 31-year-old, who impressed for Denmark at the 2018 World Cup, is believed to be a transfer target for Chelsea in this summer's transfer window.

Leicester have already signed Danny Ward from Liverpool this summer, and it had been suggested that the goalkeeper would be a replacement for Schmeichel.

Puel, however, has revealed that he is desperate to keep the stopper at the King Power Stadium.

"I am not troubled about this," Puel told reporters. "Of course Kasper is a very important player for us. He had a very strong World Cup. We need Kasper, with his character, his performance and his consistency.

"No [there have not been any offers]. There is no problem with this. There is a lot of speculation at this moment, it is normal."

Schmeichel has made almost 300 appearances for Leicester since a 2011 move from Leeds United.
