The Ghana international has left FC Copenhagen to join the Foxes, where he has signed a four-year contract and is the second arrival of the month after Demarai Gray
Leicester City have completed the signing of Ghana international Daniel Amartey from FC Copenhagen for an undisclosed fee.
The Danish side confirmed they had accepted a bid for the 21-year-old on Monday, describing the Foxes's offer - which reports suggest is in the region of £5 million - as too good to refuse.
Leicester have now sealed the deal pending Premier League approval and international clearance, with Amartey, who can play at right-back or in central midfield, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract until 2020.
"It is a great pleasure to join Leicester City," Amartey told the club's official website. "I know the club have been interested in signing me for some time and that was a big part of my decision to come here.
"All over Europe, people are talking about Leicester City and how well the club is doing in the Premier League. The team plays exciting, attacking football and I am looking forward to being part of it."
Amartey is Leicester's second signing of the month after Demarai Gray and leaves Copenhagen 18 months after joining the club from Swedish side Djurgardens.
