Tom Brady sends Leicester keeper Schmeichel 'good luck' message
Leicester City's global appeal continues to grow as their Premier League title dreams get closer to becoming reality.
Claudio Ranieri's team sit atop the Premier League standings, seven points clear with five games to play.
And now superstar NFL quarterback Tom Brady has sent a message of support to Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel with the season edging toward its climax.
The four-time Super Bowl champion recently discovered Schmeichel was an avid fan of the New England Patriots and decided to send his own "good luck" message via Sky Sports.

The Danish international was understandably over the moon to see the video from the NFL icon, saying: "Tom Brady, wow. A big hero of mine, so that's fantastic. He's the best at his sport ever, I think, so that's impressive.
"I'm quite a big fan. That's brilliant, I've got to admit.
"We only really get to experience it here in England, but that shows it's gone everywhere. I've had messages from all over the world, and it's captured the imagination of everyone."
He's definitely stoked!
