German Club Stuttgart are keen to sign Ghanaian international defender Daniel Amartey, UK-based news portal The Sun have reported.

The utility player is under contract with English Premier League side Leicester City until 2020.

Amartey scored once in 34 appearances for the Foxes in the English Premier League last season.

The 22-year-old have been struggling with regular first team action at Leicester since the appointment of Craig Shakespeare.

Stuttgart are ready to cash in on the player with the German Club believed to have opened talks with the former FC Copenhagen defender.

The Black Stars player was a second half substitute for Leicester City in their opening League match against Arsenal last weekend.

Leicester Coach Shakespear still sees the hard working defender as options for regular starters Winfred Ndidi, Danny Simpson, Harry Maguire and captain West Morgan.
