Daniel Amartey has signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract to keep him at King Power Stadium until 2022.

The 23-year-old has become a mainstay under French gaffer Claude Puel after initially struggling to command a starting berth.

He has made 10 appearances in all competitions this season.

The former Copenhagen star is currently undergoing rehabilitation to correct an ankle injury he suffered against West Ham in October.

Speaking to LCFC TV, Amartey said: “I am very happy to sign this contract at Leicester City. I am a simple and easy guy. I work hard and I focus. By God’s grace, my recovery is getting better and I have to be strong when I come back. I have to be ready, for the Club and for the manager.”
