Chelsea consider 36-year-old former Premier League keeper as Kepa replacement (reliability: 5 stars)

Chelsea have identified Kasper Schmeichel as a potential replacement for Real Madrid-bound Kepa Arrizabalaga, The Guardian reports.

Schmeichel is a Premier League-winning goalkeeper with Leicester, there club which he represented for 11 years. He left for Ligue 1 side Nice last summer.

His form for the French side has been mixed, however. He was left out of the team for the first game of the season, with Nice open to selling him.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are looking for another goalkeeper after Kepa agreed to a loan move to Real Madrid.

Schmeichel, 36, would likely be a cheap but experienced cover for Robert Sanchez who will be expected now to assume the No.1 role at Stamford Bridge.
