Aston Villa are said to be after Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey.

Aston Villa do not appear at all enthused by rumours that Steve Bruce wants to sign Daniel Amartey from Leicester City in the January transfer window.

According to the Telegraph, Villa are looking to snap up Amartey on loan for the rest of the season.

The Ghanian has barely featured for Leicester this season, playing just nine times across all competitions.

And Villa reportedly feel that the 23-year-old could now be a good addition to their squad.

Amartey has the ability to play in defence or midfield, but his versatility does not appear to be enough to make many claret and blues fans believe that he would be a good addition.

Villa are shopping on a limited budget in January, as they look to improve their squad.

Villa are yet to make a signing this month, but Bruce is in the market for new additions.

The claret and blues’ lack of squad depth was exposed last weekend, after their fringe players were beaten 3-1 by Peterborough United in the FA Cup.
