Liverpool have been linked with a number of goalkeepers in the summer as we look to replace Loris Karius in goal and the latest player being linked with a move to Anfield is Kasper Schmeichel.
BetStars (h/t The Express) have made us the favourites to land the 31-year-old Danish keeper, who won the Premier League a couple of years ago.
The likes of Juventus and Chelsea have been named as second and third favourites and while Schmeichel might not be the most expensive keeper in the world, he is a quality player. However, his age could be a bit of a problem.
At 31, the Leicester City man would not be the keeper for us in the long-term and most Liverpool fans were in awe of the keeper after his heroics in the win over Peru.
Firstly, I could be shot down but I wouldn’t mind #LFC looking at Schmeichel for goalie ahead of next season…secondly, Jordan Pickford‘s first World Cup memory is a game where I was sitting an A-Level, Christ I’m old 🙈

Schmeichel is overrated
For me Mignolet is better than him & they have the same weaknesses

I might be hated for this, but I would not mind Kaspar Schmeichel at Liverpool as an alternative to the expensive keepers. He’s a premier league champion, and he performs at the highest levels. Just a thought. #LFC

Klopp and LFC should sign Kasper Schmeichel from Leicester in the summer making good saves at the moment for Denmark

Anyone thinking Schmeichel wouldn’t be an upgrade for Liverpool is wrong… Rated him for a while now #lfc

Don’t @ me but if we can’t get our big keeper targets, we should be going for Schmeichel #lfc

Would still take Kasper Schmeichel at Liverpool #LFC

Kasper Schmeichel would be a good signing for us, cheap&premier league proven, at 31 he won’t be around too long which could give time for karius to improve? Cheap alternative if we don’t want to spend on a top keeper.#LFC
