FC Copenhagen has confirmed that the club received a bid from Leicester City for Daniel Amartey, believed to be around $7 million.
The 21-year-old is a highly rated prospect that was linked with a move to Liverpool as a teenager, and can play in the defense or in midfield. Amartey would add some solid depth on the Leicester bench, as manager Claudio Ranieri has used a rather consistent lineup in matches this season. He has earned six caps with the Ghana national side, and was the youngest player on the Black Stars team that finished second at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

Pochettino is great working with young players, and Embolo is an exceptional talent that could command a price upwards of $25 million.
