The ex-West Bromwich Albion man also confirmed that there has been no contact from other clubs, including Manchester United, concerning their interest the stopper. He said there "have been no offers" for the champions' No. 1.
Shakespeare went on to praise Schmeichel for his attitude and approach to the rumours in what is sure to be an interesting prospect considering his Dad's illustrious history at Old Trafford.
He said: "Nothing affects him. He is a very strong character and I expect him to carry on performing in the way he has. I have not spoken to him. I don't feel the need."
'No problem with wanting to progress'
Although, the 53-year-old did suggest that he understands the inticing nature of possible European football under Jose Mourinho in Manchester.
Shakespeare said: " I have said before I have no problems with players wanting to progress and play in the Champions League, like we offered here."
Irreplaceable?

The former Manchester City man was also a key performer as Leicester reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, eventually bowing out to Atletico Madrid.
