Stuttgart are eyeing Leicester City midfielder Daniel Amartey.

The Ghana international played a small part in the Foxes' 2016 Premier League title success following his £6million move from FC Copenhagen that January.

Amartey, 22, went on to score once during 34 senior appearances last season.

Germans Stuttgart now want him to strengthen their squad following promotion back to the Bundesliga.

And Stuttgarter Zeitung says club officials have opened talks with their King Power counterparts about a deal for Amartey.

The star is under contract until 2020 with Craig Shakespeare's side.
