Danish giants FC Copenhagen say Leicester City are set to sign their Ghana international Daniel Amartey.

A statement from FC Copenhagen said only a "few minor details" remained to be finalized.

According to BBC Radio Leicester, the transfer fee could be between £5m and £6m.

"Daniel has been a role model and a key player for us, and he has improved dramatically and faster than anyone could have expected," FC Copenhagen manager Stale Solbakken said.

"He has handled his success and all the attention extremely well, and it is a dream come true for him to play in the Premier League for a club who have targeted him for a longer period.

"We wish Daniel all the best in the Premier League and we are sure he will have a great career."

Amartey, who has won six international caps, has played 63 games for FC Copenhagen since joining them in 2014.

The 21-year-old can play in defence or midfield and was a revelation at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
