Leicester City have been approached over the availability of defender Daniel Amartey, according to reports in England.

The Ghanaian international was signed for £5million from FC Copenhagen in January 2016 by former coach Claudio Ranieri halfway through Leicester City’s championship winning season.

He arrived as a possible long term replacement for their aging captain Wes Morgan but has since found it difficult to break into the Foxes first team.

Amartey was used mainly as back-up right-back for Danny Simpson last season and he could be open to a move as he seeks to get regular playing time.

West Bromwich Albion, Stoke City and Swansea City, all recently relegated to the lower division, are keen on the versatile 23-year-old.

Leicester are well-stocked with midfield options and it seems Amartey could be on his way out of the King Power Stadium, with a move to the Championship seemingly a possibility.
