international Daniel Amartey from FC Copenhagen for an
undisclosed fee.
The Danish side confirmed they had accepted a bid for the
21-year-old on Monday, describing the Foxes's offer - which
reports suggest is in the region of £5 million - as too good to
refuse.
Leicester have now sealed the deal pending Premier League
approval and international clearance, with Amartey, who can
play at right-back or in central midfield, signing a four-and-
a-half-year contract until 2020.
"It is a great pleasure to join Leicester City," Amartey told
the club's official website. "I know the club have been
interested in signing me for some time and that was a big
part of my decision to come here.
"All over Europe, people are talking about Leicester City and
how well the club is doing in the Premier League. The team
plays exciting, attacking football and I am looking forward to
being part of it."
Amartey is Leicester's second signing of the month after
Demarai Gray and leaves Copenhagen 18 months after
joining the club from Swedish side Djurgardens.
