Kasper may quit

- By DARREN LEWIS

PETER SCHMEICHEL has suggested his son Kasper could quit Leicester because Claude Puel can’t get the best out of him.

Leicester sit 12th in the Premier League having lost five of their last six in all competitio­ns.

Foxes boss Puel has come under fire for his defensivel­y-minded style of management which is understood to have left the players uninspired.

The Danish keeper, 32, is first choice at the King Power but his father, ex-Manchester United great Schmeichel, said: “Leicester City are a really good football club. They’ve got good players, they just don’t have the manager who can get the best out of them.

“Once they get everything sorted out, and I leave it to you to interpret what that means, you’ll see Leicester maybe in fifth to eighth place where they belong.

“Of course he wants to challenge himself like any other player. But I don’t think he wants to go to Europe. I think he loves England too much.”
