Nice goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has declared he'd be open to returning to Leicester City.

The Dane is in his first season with Nice and after a rough start is now returning to his best form.

The 36 year-old recalled to The Times: "My contract was about to expire, and I didn't really get a response (from Leicester). I would have loved to stay at Leicester, but it wasn't meant to be. I love the club.

"If I were to return? Of course I would. I could always imagine coming back and helping them. Every time I talk about Leicester I start to smile.

"I really miss it. I watch all their matches."
