Report: Mark Schwarzer to join Leicester City

Leicester City are reportedly on the verge of signing Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.

The Foxes are thought to be in the market for a new keeper to replace Kasper Schmeichel, who has been ruled out for several weeks with a broken foot.

That has brought about the interest in 42-year-old Schwarzer, who will sign a short-term contract at the King Power Stadium, according to Sky Sports News.

With Schmeichel injured, deputy Ben Hamer is the only current senior keeper on Leicester's books.
