Ben Hamer: Leicester City sign Charlton Athletic goalkeeper
Leicester City have signed out-of-contract Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Ben Hamer on a four-year contract.
The 26-year-old, who played 37 games last season, said on Twitter: "Delighted to have joined. Looking forward to the new challenge. Thanks to Charlton for three fantastic years."
City have been in talks with number one Kasper Schmeichel, and had agreed a deal with the out-of-contract Dane.
But Hamer's arrival has cast doubts over Schmeichel's future.
I don't care about his goalkeeping, that beard is wonderful.

I'd love a chin glove like that but always concede defeat when it gets itchy. Only the strongest earn such delights.
