Kasper Schmeichel now just needs to sign his contract before he is the new first team keeper at Scottish giants Celtic….
Kasper Schmeichel is now just one signing away from being the new first keeper at the Scottish big club Celtic.
Tipsbladet can reveal that the Danish national team star has passed his medical check-up, and thus there is only ink left on the contract before he can be presented as the new goalkeeper for Brendan Rodgers’ troops.
As Tipsbladet could reveal on Monday, the mandatory medical check-up was to take place in Italy, and it has gone completely according to plan, so on Thursday he will meet his new team-mates in the USA, where Celtic is at a training camp.
Kasper Schmeichel is transfer-free after his farewell to Anderlecht, and it has always been the idea that he should have his future in place after the EC.
On Friday evening, the Dane accepted an offer for a one-year deal at Celtic, and an option for a further season has also been agreed.
As boss, he thus gets Brendan Rodgers, whom he managed to play under for more than three years, when they were both in the Premier League club Leicester.
In a day’s time, there will be a reunion.
Thus, the safe number 1 in Kasper Hjulmand’s national team can be happy that he will once again try his hand at the Champions League.
Looks like Brendan has got his man!
