Ghana defender Daniel Amartey has received praise from Leicester City coach Claudio Ranieri.

Amartey was excellent for Leicester City in their 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Ranieri who has been a big fan of Amartey was full of praise for the 21-year old.

“We needed more midfielders in the middle, and we played with just two, King and Amartey suffered a lot. They worked so hard today, and for them, it was easier to keep possession,” he said

The versatile man has slotted in at the club nicely since he joined from Danish side FC Copenhagen.
