Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey wants a return to FC Copenhagen following his struggles at the English side, the Danish side's boss boss Ståle Solbakken has claimed.

The 25-year-old joined the Foxes in 2016 but has been restricted to just 43 starts due to injury.

Amartey has not made a single appearances for the side this season, with his last outing back in October 2018 in a 1-1 stalemate against West Ham United.

The Ghana international is growing increasingly frustrated and appears to be heading towards the exit door.

The centre-back does not appear to be in the plans of manager Brendan Rodgers and is looking to leave the King Power Stadium.

And  FC Copenhagen StÃ¥le Solbakken has confirmed the Ghanaian is itching to return home.

"He said he wants to go home [to Copenhagen]," Solbakken told Denmark’s BT.

When asked if the Danish club has the budget to sign Amartey, Solbakken said: "No, they wouldn’t. Not [even] close. But I don’t think he’s going to be expensive in the transfer market because Leicester want to get rid of his salary. But I don’t think it’s going to be here and now."

The versatile Ghanaian made a high profile £6 million move to Leicester City four years ago but injuries have conspired against his growth.
