Banks: Schmeichel key to Leicester staying up

Leicester City legend Gordon Banks says goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel will be key to their Premier League survival.

Banks has been a keen admirer of the Dane, who committed his future to City this summer by signing a new four-year contract.

"I'm very pleased for them, of course," Banks told the Leicester Mercury.

"I've actually been to watch them play quite a bit in the last three years and Schmeichel has been the keeper. I have liked what I have seen, he looks the part.

"I'm surprised no one has been in and grabbed him, especially the Premier League teams. But I think it might be a bit too much if they have to rely too much on him."
