Leicester's Premier League winning goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has left the club after 11 years to join French side Nice.

The Denmark international - who had been Leicester's captain in recent seasons - also won the FA Cup and Community Shield with the club.

Schmeichel posted a message to fans following his decision to leave.

Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: "Throughout his time with us and particularly as a captain and vice-captain, Kasper has always been a player willing to stand up and take responsibility, leading the team with distinction.

"His influence and his leadership on and off the pitch speak volumes about him as a professional, as a football player and as a human being.
