Kasper Schmeichel Moves To Nice

Denmark goalkeeper and captain Kasper Schmeichel has ended an 11-year association with English Premier League clubside Leicester City after joining Nice for an undisclosed fee.

The goalkeeper spent more than a decade at Leicester City after arriving from Leeds United.

He won an EPL title, an FA Cup and a Community Shield during his time at the King Power Stadium.

Schmeichel made 479 appearances in all for the Foxes, featuring in more Premier League games for Leicester City than any other player (276).

Barring injury, he will be a part of the Denmark squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year.

Club Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha spoke to Leicester City’s official website on the announcement of Schmeichel’s departure.

Schmeichel sits behind only West Ham’s Lukasz Fabianski (284) and Manchester United’s David de Gea (283) in appearances in the Premier League since the start of the 2014/2015 season.

England Edges Nigeria To Win Table Tennis Bronze

In the men's team event bronze medal match yesterday in Birmingham, England defeated Nigeria 3-0 while India successfully retained their championship with a 3-1 victory against Singapore.

The English squad defeated their African opponents with ease because they were more committed than Nigeria. When Paul Drinkhall and Tom Jarvis teamed up to defeat Bode Abiodun and Olajide Omotayo 3-0 in the doubles, they got off to a strong start (11-6, 11-7, 11-7).

When Quadri Aruna faced Liam Pitchford in the first singles match, Pitchford won thanks to a number of unforced errors committed by Aruna. Pitchford understood that his victory over the greatest player in the competition had given him and his team a chance to win the bronze medal.

Fans applauded Aruna and Pitchford for their strong starts, but it was the Englishman who prevailed 3-1 (11-9, 9-11, 12-10, 11-6) to give England a 2-0 lead.

Omotayo played Drinkhall in the second singles match, and the far more seasoned Drinkhall won the match decisively to end the tie at 3-0. (11-4, 11-2, 11-4).

Fulham Sign Leno From Arsenal In £8m Transfer Deal

In a move worth up to £8 million, Fulham has acquired goalkeeper Bernd Leno from Arsenal on a three-year term.

Additionally, the club has the choice to extend the 30-year-old German's contract by an additional 12 months.

The London-based club will pay £3 million up front, $1 million dependent on performance, £2 million if they avoid relegation, and a further $2 million if they make it through the next season.

Leno joined Arsenal in 2018 after playing 304 times for Bayer Leverkusen over seven seasons and recording 100 clean sheets.

During his four years at the club, he played 125 times in goal for the Gunners, just four of which came last season. He took Petr Cech's position in the starting lineup.
