Fulham in bid to sign Daniel Amartey

Fulham are trying to lure Leicester City midfielder Daniel Amartey to Craven Cottage according to a report.

Football Insider claim the Cottagers have approached the Foxes about the availability of the Ghanaian who, it is claimed, could leave the King Power for £5m.

Amartey has struggled to feature in Brendan Rodgers' first-team plans, a problem not helped by injuries.

Fulham boss Scott Parker is said to be an admirer of the defensive midfielder and tried unsuccessfully to land him during the January window.

But they are now determined to get Amartey at the second time of asking with the player having two years remaining on his current deal.

Amartey, who signed for the club for £6m from FC Copenhagen four years ago, did feature for Leicester in pre-season in a friendly draw against Blackburn Rovers but has not played in a competitive game under boss Brendan Rodgers.

Fulham, beaten by Leeds 4-3 at the weekend, are keen to strengthen their squad ahead of the transfer window closing early next month after alreadying signing nine players this summer.

They have also allowed departures with then most recent being Cyrus Christie to Nottingham Forest.
