Fulham have made an offer for Leicester City midfielder Daniel Amartey, according to reports this afternoon.
The Foxes are willing to sell the 25 year-old, who has struggled for both fitness and form of late at the King Power Stadium, and is now not considered an integral part of Brendon Rodgers’ squad. Leicester value the Ghanaian international at around £5m and Fulham have held a long-standing interest in the former Djurgardens and Copenhagen man, having had approaches rebuffed last January.
Amartey signed for Leicester for around £6m in January 2016 and made five first-team appearances as the Foxes surprised everyone by winning the Premier League title under Claudio Ranieri. He succeeded Ngolo Kante in the holding midfield role the following season, making 35 appearances and scoring a single goal, a late leveller at Stoke City. He has suffered several injury setbacks at Leicester, breaking his ankle and being sidelined for nearly two years before making a goalscoring return in a pre-season friendly against Blackburn Rovers earlier this summer.
Amartey, who has won 26 caps for Ghana, helped the Black Stars finish fourth in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, where he was named in the team of the tournament. The powerful midfielder, who won the Danish title and two domestic cups during his team with Copenhagen, can also play in central defence, which remains a problem position for Scott Parker.
Not another midfield player please. Two central defenders and a target man is what is urgently needed.
Lining him up because we’re going to accept Milan’s offer for Frank, probably. Big mistake.
If we let Anguissa go, I think we’ll go down with even fewer points than last time.
This rumour resurfaces every year – he must be scoring very highly on Tony’s spreadsheet.
No way Anguissa is going, possibly lining him up as cover for c/b. Seen him play there a couple of times and he was decent
Need 2 tall quality centre backs and 2 forwards with good heading and holdup qualities. Keep Anguissa.
Or go down again
Oh No don’t let this Happen I agree with Andy is this guy going to replace Big Frank ,yes we are Stupid enough to accept For the first time we have a quality Midfield Player who can keep Sideways Cairney out of the team let’s give this guy a contract extension possible Future Fulham Captain reminds me of Arsenals Patrick Vierra
We need Anguissa to stay we also need 2 new centre backs and another very good striker how many more times do we have to keep saying this wake Tony Khan and listen to what we are all saying
One central defender
One forward
We have a really bizarre situation: Shad Khan is building a new stand with a 30, 000 capacity; whilst is son is ensuring that we’re never going to fill it with his spreadsheet simulation football manager thing!
Ademola Lookman & Daniel Amerty god help us. Remember folks Tony said no to Aaron Mooy because he didn’t match his statistics criteria!
People at the club really need to sort him out.
People really do jump to immediate conclusions, he may be replacing Anguissa which is unlikely seeing as we already rejected 2 large bids from Villarreal. And as the article states, he can play CENTRE BACK and has some good pace about him as well. This is a bargain of a deal
They won’t Dan! The useless bastard is untouchable! His father is to blame for indulging him !!!
DO NOT SELL ANGUISSA.
Need two CB
How many times we gotta tell them. Get the CB’s then we’ll talk other positions
Struggled with fitness and injuries? Come to Fulham! ?
Tony needs to concentrate on his sweaty boys cuddling club back in America instead of messing about with daddy’s club.
Well done TK, I bet Parker hasn’t even heard of these players and you play 30 seconds of FM2020 and think they will be great signings. Just leave the club all together as you are clueless!
Couldn’t someone contact the Mafia I believe they deal with contracts.
Watch out Tony.
Tee hee.
Keep the faith COYW
