International Coach Claims Leicester Star Is 'One of the Top 3 in the World' in His Position

Head coach of the Danish national side, Age Hareide, has claimed Kasper Schmeichel is one of the 'top three' goalkeepers in the world.

The Leicester City shot stopper had a very impressive World Cup campaign, conceding just two goals in Denmark's four matches - which included a clean sheet against eventual champions France in the group stages.

Despite losing on penalties to Croatia in the round of 16, Schmeichel did himself no disservice whatsoever after saving a penalty from Luka Modric in extra time before denying both Milan Badelj and Josip Pivaric from the spot.
