On deadline day, Leicester City has raised their price tag for goalkeeper Daniel Iversen, who has attracted interest from Sheffield United and Derby County. The 27-year-old, serving as Leicester’s backup keeper, has seen multiple loan spells in the last six years, indicating his secondary role in the squad.

Despite being overlooked for the starting position, Leicester seems content to retain Iversen in their ranks. While there were rumors of a permanent transfer in the summer, Sheffield United and Derby were hesitant due to Leicester’s steep demands, opting for Michael Cooper instead. Alan Nixon reported on his Patreon page that Leicester upped Iversen’s asking price on the final day of the transfer window.

A late inquiry prompted Leicester to quote a hefty £4 million for Iversen. The Foxes had also been eyeing a goalkeeper signing themselves, suggesting that their pursuit may have affected Iversen’s valuation.
