Leicester have completed the signing of defender Daniel Amartey from FC Copenhagen.

The Ghana international has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract and is understood to have cost City £5m.

Amartey is Leicester's second signing of the current transfer window following the arrival of forward Demarai Gray from Birmingham.

FC Copenhagen chief executive Anders Horsholt said earlier this week: "We cannot turn down a transfer of this size because generally speaking, it is the best outcome for FC Copenhagen.

"We have been very happy to have Daniel here but it is part of our strategy as a club and a company to develop players to a level where they get so attractive that clubs from the biggest leagues will buy them for large sums of money."
