Foxes keeper is regarded as one of the best keepers in Premier League and his reputation has been enhanced during Russia World Cup
CHELSEA and Roma are set to battle it out for Leicester City keeper Kasper Schmeichel, according to reports.
Both clubs are on the hunt for new keepers as Thibaut Courtois and Alisson could be in line for big money moves this summer.
The Belgian international, preparing for his country's last 16 clash with Japan has so far refused to commit his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.
Courtois is reportedly keen to return to Spain to be near his children with Real Madrid on red alert.
Alisson is another keeper on Los Blancos shopping list, the Brazilian is also a target for Liverpool.
Schmeichel is regarded as one of the best keepers in the Premier League, and the Blues who are close to appointing Maurizio Sarri as their new boss are prepared to test the Foxes resolve if they lose Courtois, claim Sky Sports.

The Foxes No1 has another three years on his King Power contract and boss Claude Puel will be desperate to hold on to his experienced stopper.
