Whites accept Schmeichel bid

Leeds have accepted an undisclosed offer from npower Championship rivals Leicester for goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. The 24-year-old has spent only one season at Elland Road after arriving from Notts County last summer, making 40 appearances. Leeds manager Simon Grayson said: "We feel this is the right deal for the club." He added: "We spoke to Kasper's agent at the end of the season about a contract extension and it was apparent that it was going to be difficult to agree a deal. "Given the fact he has one year remaining on his contract we feel this is in the best interests of Leeds United."
