Kasper Schmeichel has become Leeds United’s first signing of the season after joining from Notts County on a free transfer.
The former Man City shot stopper played 43 times for County last season winning promotion with the club, but The Magpies can no longer afford the players wages and have decided to let him go.
Schmeichel who signed a two-year deal at Elland Road had a fantastic season for County and was named PFA League Two Player of the Year.
Schmeichel said: “There wasn’t a lot of decision making to do,” “I’ve been talking to clubs, and when the question was raised about interest from Leeds I said yes.”
“I’ve grown up in England, know a lot about English football, and I know Leeds is one of the biggest clubs in the country.”
