Born on the 5th of November, 1986 in Denmark, Kasper Schmeichel is presently a celebrated goalkeeper for Celtic. Boasting a statuesque height of 6ft 2in (1.89m) and a weight of 14st (89kg), he commands the pitch in the number 1 jersey and has represented the Danish national team.

His market value is currently around £640k, as verified by Transfermarkt. As of now, his Celtic contract maintains an outstanding length of 1 years and 2 months, stipulated to culminate on 30th June, 2026.

In the genesis of his prototypically nomadic football career, Schmeichel joined Premier League team, Manchester City, as a trainee in 2004. He acquired somewhat scanty first-team experience during his time there, appearing only eight times over two seasons.

During his incumbency at Manchester City, Schmeichel was loaned out to various English and Scottish clubs. Starting with Darlington, in the National League North in January 2006, he later moved to Bury, Falkirk, Cardiff City, and Coventry City respectively, making between four and fifteen appearances per tenure.

His first permanent move away from Manchester City was to Notts County in England's League Two in August 2009. An undisclosed fee being paid, Schmeichel became one of the pillars of their squad, with 43 appearances in that debut season. Following a season at Leeds United in the Championship, Schmeichel was acquired by Leicester City for approximately £1m in July 2011.

It was in Leicester City, Schmeichel truly made a name for himself. Over a decade, with a total of 462 first-team appearances, he demonstrated his prowess and unwavering dedication to the squad.

Post his successful stint at Leicester, Schmeichel transferred to Nice in France's Ligue 1 for an undisclosed fee in August 2022. After a promising season in France, he moved on to Anderlecht in Belgium's Pro League where he made 23 appearances.

In July 2024, Schmeichel joined Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. In his ongoing season at Celtic, he has made a commendable 32 first team appearances in league matches so far and has represented the club in various competitions including the League Cup, Scottish Cup, and the Champions League. He has also continued his national duties for Denmark, appearing in the Euro 2024 and Euro Qualifiers 2022 - 2024, along with the Nations League 2024 - 2025.
