Ghanaian defender Daniel Amartey is inching closer to the exit door at premier league high fliers Leicester City.

The defender is yet to make a single appearance for the foxes under Brendan Rodgers.

Amartey has been receiving admiring glances from clubs in Turkey.

With multiple reports from Turkey linking the 24 year old player with a move to Trabzonspor due to the influence of compatriot Caleb Ekuban.

It is believed Ekuban has been putting word in the ears of his compatriot and make the move to join him at Trabzonspor.

Daniel Amartey can play at full back, central defence and in midfield with his versatility appealing to clubs in Turkey with Trabzonspor especially in need of numbers in midfield with the injuries of John Mikel Obi and Ogenyi Onazi all out injured.

Daniel Amartey will be allowed to leave Leicester City in January as he is surplus to requirement and the club is well stocked in his positions.

The 24 year old Ghanaian joined Leicester City from Fc Copenhagen for £5million and still has two years on his existing contract at Leicester.
