The greatest challenge of Schmeichel’s career was always going to be to step out of his father’s shadow. His father Peter was regarded as the greatest goalkeeper of the Premier League era, and the issue for Kasper is that he will always be compared to his dad, and what he achieved during his career. Though we have seen in the last few years, he has begun to make a name for himself.

He has been excellent for Leicester City since their promotion to the Premier League in 2014, and played a massive role in their incredible run to the title in the 2015/16 season. Overall, Schmeichel has played 142 Premier League games, keeping 43 clean sheets in that time, with 15 of those coming in their title-winning campaign.
