The Foxes are in talks with the 21-year-old defender as boss Claudio Ranieri seeks to bolster his squad for their shock title assault.

 

Leicester are top of the Barclays Premier League after Saturday's 1-1 draw at Aston Villa.

Ghana international Amartey has six caps for his country and would become the Foxes' second January signing after Demarai Gray joined from Birmingham for £3.75million.

Amartey started his career with Swedish side Djurgarden before moving to Denmark in 2014.

His arrival is likely to trigger a loan move for Gokhan Inler, with the Switzerland captain wanting first-team football ahead of Euro 2016. DailyMail
