Bringing impressive composure and shot-stopping abilities to Enzo Maresca's new-look XI in 2023/24, the Dane played 44 times, keeping 13 clean sheets, as City sealed the Sky Bet Championship title.
A calming presence at the back, the starting point for many of the Foxes' devastating attacks across his opening season in Leicester blue, led to Hermansen being named in the EFL Team of the Season. Incredibly, of all the players in the division, City's 'keeper completed more passes than 694 of them, ranking 41st for that metric overall.
Growing up in the Danish city of Odense, the young goalkeeper grew through the ranks to become the No.1 at his native side Brøndby IF as well collecting caps for Denmark’s youth international teams.
Hermansen began his youth career at Næsby Boldklub, who play in the Danish Third Division, where his skills between the sticks quickly became recognised, earning a move to the Superliga with Brøndby.
He was promoted to the first team prior to the 2019/20 season and made his professional debut in a Danish Cup match against Ledøje-Smørum Fodbold, keeping a clean sheet as his side claimed a 1-0 victory.
Mainly featuring sporadically in cup competitions as a second choice ‘keeper, Hermansen lifted the league title in the 2020/21 season – and this team accomplishment led to Marvin Schwäbe’s transfer to 1. FC Köln, paving the way for the youngster to showcase his potential.
Making 38 appearances in all competitions during the 2021/22 campaign, including two in the UEFA Champions League, and five in the UEFA Europa League, the 23-year-old was heavily involved in achieving a fourth-placed finish for Drengene fra Vestengnen, or The Boys from Vestegnen.
Capturing the eyes, and hearts, of the Danish fanbase, Hermansen was awarded the Brøndby Player of the Year award for 2022.
Although still awaiting the chance to make his debut for the senior Denmark squad, he was called up for every UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying match, after making impressions during his time with the youth teams.
Representing his country all the way from the Under-16s, Hermansen was called up to the Denmark Under-21s for the first time in November 2020, but had to wait until September of the following year to make his debut in a 1-0 win over Kazakhstan in a 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification match.
Now boasting over a century of appearances on a domestic, European and international stage, his competitive debut for the Club was a big one, with Hermansen making a crucial save during the opening-day Championship win over Coventry City at King Power Stadium in August 2023, which set the tone for a season to remember.
