Ghana defender, Daniel Amartey has visited the King Power Stadium in clutches on Tuesday afternoon to pay tribute to club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha who died in Saturday's helicopter crash.

Srivaddhanaprabha was one of five people who died in a helicopter crash at the club's stadium on Saturday.

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha wrote off the club's £103m debt when taking over in 2010, and was a beloved figure among the players, rewarding the title-winning squad with sports cars and all-expenses-paid holidays.

The 60-year-old also engaged with the club's supporters, giving fans free bus travel to away games as well as free beer at home matches, while his support towards the wider community included two separate instalments of £1m to Leicester Royal Infirmary.

Leicester City players and the technical team have also paid their tribute to the Srivaddhanaprabha.

Amartey suffered a horrific injury on the same day in the 1-1 draw with West Ham United and has undergone surgery.
