Turkish side Besiktas have announced the signing of Ghana’s defender Daniel Amartey, after his exit from English Premier League side Leicester City.
The Black Stars player has penned down a 2-year deal with an additional one year with the Turkish giants.
The 28-year-old joined Besiktas as a free agent after parting ways with Premier League club Leicester City after seven years.
The centre-back had a remarkable start with Leicester, winning the league title in his debut season. He also played a significant role in the club’s FA Cup triumph in 2021 against Chelsea.
Following his departure from Leicester, Amartey had been linked with a potential move to Celtic. The speculation arose due to his previous association with Brendan Rodgers, his former coach at Leicester City who is now in charge at Celtic.
Amartey is an integral member of Ghana’s senior National Team the Black Stars and featured in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where the team failed to qualify from the group.
