New Premier League deal for Rotherham United loan ace Dan Iversen

The young Dane, who has been a major reason behind the Millers' rise to the top of League One, is on a season-long at AESSEAL New Stadium and is regarded by Foxes staff as the eventual successor to Kasper Schmeichel.

Leicester have given Iversen a five-and-a-half-year deal taking him through to the summer of 2025.

The 22-year-old has missed only one league match for Rotherham: the 2-1 defeat at Doncaster Rovers in September when he was called into the senior Denmark squad.

Iversen said: "It feels really, really good to sign a contract with Leicester. I’ve spent four years already at the club so, of course, I’m really happy about it as I'm proud to be a Leicester  player.

"I'm enjoying my time at Rotherham this season too. They're a really good club to play for, I’ve been happy with my performances and I’m excited for what’s to come."

There is a good chance that if the Millers reach the Championship they will try to keep the shot-stopper for a second year.
