Manchester United are the favourites to sign Kasper Schmeichel
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, faces a tough summer transfer window with goalkeepers Simon Mignoet and Loris Karius both supposedly free to leave at the right price.
Neither stopper has convinced Klopp they are first choice at Anfield in the long term and Schmeichel is 6/1 to head to Merseyside.
Meanwhile, Manchester City (also 6/1) are expected to dive into the transfer market following Claudio Bravo’s disappointing debut season in the Premier League and Joe Hart’s likely sale.

United were linked with a shock move for England international Hart earlier this week but the City are unlikely to sanction a deal to their local rivals.
Leicester could still keep their man, who was one of their top performers in their charge to the Premier League title last season.
Schmeichel also enjoyed a stellar Champions League campaign with the Foxes this term and is likely to opt for a club playing in Europe’s elite club competition if he decides to leave the King Power.
