City boss Kevin Keegan believes the "giant" goalkeeper has all the right qualities to succeed.

“I am delighted that Kasper has joined us here at Manchester City and by offering him this deal, it is obvious we think highly of his quality,” Keegan told the club’s official website.

“If he continues to work as hard as he has done so far, he may even be able to follow in the footsteps of his father.”

And Schmeichel himself couldn’t be happier that his son has signed up with City.

"First and foremost both my wife and I are delighted that Kasper has impressed the management and staff enough for them to offer such a wonderful opportunity.

“We are equally delighted that Kasper will make his first steps to achieving his personal football ambitions with Manchester City," said Schmeichel.
