Besiktas are eyeing a move for Leicester City’s Daniel Amartey as they continue to strengthen their squad this summer.

That’s according to Fanatik, who say the Turkish side are planning to spend the money brought in from Ridvan Yilmaz’s potential move to Rangers.

Amartey is one of two players who ‘will be targeted’ by the Black Eagles when their transfer funds are boosted by the sale.

They are ‘extremely determined’ to strengthen their squad this summer and have now ‘rolled up their sleeves’ to bring in new players once Yilmaz departs.

Their ‘interested’ in Leicester’s Amartey and have offered the player a contract worth €2m per year in early negotiations.

Leicester are open to a sale and have set a €5.5m asking price on the Ghanian defender, whose contract at the Kingpower is set to expire next summer.

That may mean Brendan Rodgers’ and co are keen to sell rather than run the risk of losing the 27-year-old on a free transfer in 12 months.

Whether Besiktas are willing to match the Foxes’ demands or Amartey is keen on the move isn’t clear, but the interest is there nonetheless.
