Fit-again Amartey looking for new opportunities away from Leicester

Ghana international, Daniel Amartey is preparing for the exit from Premier League side Leicester City this summer.

The 25-year-old, who can play both as a defender and midfielder, has not played a competitive senior match for the Foxes since breaking his ankle against West Ham 19 months ago.

Amartey recovered from the setback but has struggled to convince manager Brendan Rogers enough for game time.

“We are looking to find new opportunities for Amartey.

“He’s been out of favour from the new gaffer so we will see how best we can solve that issue,” his representative Yusif Chibsah told Starr Sports.

“Amartey is still with the Foxes but he has not been getting more playing time due to the fact that he got injured.

“But after his injury, they consider him as surplus so there should be a way out,” the Club Consult Africa boss added.

Daniel Amartey joined Leicester City form Danish giants FC Copenhagen on an initial four-year deal in January 2016. His contract was extended to keep him at the King Power Stadium until summer 2022. But the long injury layoff coupled with the managerial change which saw Rogers replace Claude Puel prior to the start of the 2019/20 season has seen him fall down the pecking order at the club.
