Leicester City goalkeeper Mads Hermansen has said it was “good to try something new” when he joined the club from Brondby this past summer.
The 23-year-old moved to Leicester in a reported £5million deal, and has played 10 of the first 11 league games of the season. The stopper feels he has already improved since the first day of the season at Coventry, and is relishing his development with the club so far.
He has been “learning every single day” in training, under the coaching of Maresca and goalkeeping coach Michele de Bernardin. Those lessons have been translating onto the pitch fantastically, and he will be looking to carry that on against Swansea.
Looking ahead to the game, Hermansen said: “We’re all looking forward to it. “It’s sometimes good to get away and now to get back, we all love being here. We’ve got some fresh energy, had some good resting days and we’re ready to go on.
“The mood has been very good since I came here, even before the season started. We’re all in a good place and working in the same direction so we need to keep on going and keep on developing as a team.
“It’s always an honour to defend your country out there but of course I love to be on the pitch, play and be involved, trying to do what I can to help the team, so I look forward to playing again.”
Hermansen has been a standout performer for Leicester this season. Initial doubts over whether Leicester needed another goalkeeper have quickly been proven wrong by the Dane. He immediately became first choice and has barely put a foot wrong during the season so far.
“I feel like I’ve been learning every single day in training and I’ve developed a lot already since the first game against Coventry,” he said. “When you’re in the same place for a long time it’s sometimes good to try something new and develop in some other areas of your game.”
