Leicester City could face a fight to keep goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel this summer. The Denmark international has attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs, including Swansea and newly-promoted Hull. The Mercury understands the Tigers are definitely looking to sign at least one new goalkeeper this summer and Schmeichel is on their list of possible targets. However, any move by Hull is not expected until at least June. The 26-year-old has had two great seasons with City, but is about to enter the last year of his three-year contract. But City are in a strong position financially and are expected to resist the approaches from other clubs, and offer Schmeichel a new contract. Schmeichel won the player of the year and players' player of the year accolades at the end of the 2011-12 season. He was also named in the Championship Team of the Year after the last campaign, which saw him shortlisted for the club's player of the year honours. Schmeichel has also broken into the full Denmark national squad in the last year and he is expected to feature in the Denmark squads for the friendly against Georgia, on June 5, and the World Cup qualifier against Armenia, on June 11. Schmeichel has made no secret of his desire to play in the Premier League, but has also expressed his enjoyment of his time with City. "I don't pay any attention to speculation," he said before the play-off defeat to Watford. "I have another year on my contract and, I have said before, I am very happy here. I like being here. "The club has been very good to me and the fans have been great to me. "My ambition is, like every other player, I want to get into the Premier League. People are under contract and it is a very good club to work for and a nice environment. "The only thing that matters to me is playing. For me things can go on around the club, or talk or whatever, as long as I get to play things fall into place."
