Yussif Alhassan Chibsah, the agent of Ghana international defender Daniel Amartey says his client is on his way out of his English Premier League club side Leicester City.
Amartey has found it difficult to break into the first team squad under manager Brendan Rodgers after an ankle injury he suffered in a league match against West Ham United in October 2018.
The last time the Ghana international made the bench was in a League Cup game against Luton Town last September after nearly a year out of action.
“We are looking to find new opportunities for Amartey,” Chibsah told said.
“He’s been out of favour from the new gaffer so we will see how best we can solve that issue.
“Amartey is still with the Foxes but he has not been getting more playing time due to the fact that he got injured. After his injury, they consider him as surplus so there should be a way out.”
Amartey was linked to some Premier League and Championship clubs in January. There were stories that Fulham, Sheffield United and Newcastle United were looking to sign him as he searched for regular playing time.
“It’s not hard to keep the squad happy, but I have empathy for the guys [not playing games] because we’re only at the level we’re because of the players that aren’t playing,” manager Rodgers told the press.
“We’ve got guys like Wes Morgan, Marc Albrighton, Christian Fuchs, Demarai Gray, Dennis Praet, all these guys aren’t starting games.
“There’s Papy Mendy, who played a lot of games last season, and Daniel Amartey, those two aren’t even in the squad. There’s Hamza Choudhury.
“Their mentality and focus allow us to be the best that we can. It’s my job to manage that, I speak a lot with the players, they understand where it’s at, they’re clear on where they stand within the squad. I recognize how difficult it is, but they never show it. They turn up every day to train, to be the best they can be.”
Amartey made five appearances for the Foxes in their league title winning season in 2016 after joining the club from FC Copenhagen.
