Report: Leicester City on verge of signing Mark Schwarzer from Chelsea

Chelsea is reportedly selling its backup goalkeeper. No, not that one.

The Telegraph is reporting that Leicester City are on the verge of signing Mark Schwarzer, with the Australian set to sign a deal through the 2015-16 season with the Foxes.

With first-choice 'keeper Kasper Schmeichel still recovering from a broken foot that he suffered in early December, Leicester are in the market for some help between the posts, and Schwarzer is an ideal candidate given his situation at Chelsea - where he is firmly behind Thibaut Courtois and Petr Cech on the depth chart.

Despite the lack of an official announcement as of yet, the Premier League's official website lists Schwarzer as a Leicester player.
