GETTY Liverpool favourites to sign Kasper Schmeichel
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has rotated between Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius this season, with both keepers struggling for form. The Reds have recently been linked with a move for Schmeichel at Leicester, with reports suggesting the Denmark No 1 would command a £30million fee. And bookmakers BetStars have priced Liverpool as 2/1 favourites to sign the 30-year-old, with Arsenal also in the running for his signature.

The Gunners are at odds of 7/2 to land Schmeichel following reports Arsene Wenger is looking for a replacement for Petr Cech. Leicester sit just one point above the relegation zone and Schmeichel would be expected to leave the Foxes should they go down. “Liverpool’s goalkeeping woes have been a thorn in their side this season and attentions have now turned to acquiring a new number one between the sticks this summer,” said a BetStars spokesman.
