Kasper Schmeichel has been gaining plenty of followers following a productive two seasons with Leicester City, with his father Peter Schmeichel revealing a bid as having come from newly-promoted Hull City.

The Foxes have seen Kasper Schmeichel become the undisputed number one at the King Power Stadium, with 105 appearances under his belt since his arrival from Leeds United.







However, Leicester City’s inability to make the Premier League grade, following their playoff semi-final defeat to Watford, means Kasper Schmeichel’s position could come under further speculation.

The 26-year-old was a former custodian at Manchester City, with one spell coming under Mark Hughes as manager, and it seems the Manchester United connection is an ongoing one.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce, once a team-mate of Peter Schmeichel at Old Trafford, has been eyeing Kasper Schmeichel, and the player’s father claims the interest has translated to something more concrete.

Peter Schmeichel told Danish outlet DR: "Hull have filed two official bids, and they have a super manager, Steve Bruce, who is one of my best friends.

"He has known Kasper since he was three-and-a-half years old. And Kasper and Alex, Steve’s son, have played together and grew up together. It’s a great funny story."

Kasper Schmeichel has himself announced a desire to one day play in the top flight, but his former Danish international father insisted Leicester City will not give up his services without a fight.

"How [the speculation] ends, is under the control of Kasper, his club and his agent", he added. "It will not be easy for him to leave, because he is at a club that definitely will not let go of him.

"It is interesting to follow this, and I stand on the sidelines as a very proud father."
