Daniel Amartey has signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract at Leicester City, the club have confirmed.
The 23-year-old Ghana international signed from Copenhagen in January 2016 and made five top-flight appearances as Leicester completed an unlikely Premier League title triumph.
"I am very happy to sign this contract at Leicester City. I am a simple and easy guy. I work hard and I focus," he told LCFC TV.
"By God's grace, my recovery is getting better. I was playing well and then I got this injury, but I have to be strong when I come back.
"Personally, I am happy because last season I didn't get much playing time and this season the manager gave me the chance so, for me, I was very happy."
The versatile defender offered thanks to Leicester's late chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who died in a helicopter crash in October, for backing his move to the King Power Stadium.
"I first have to recover from my injury. I pray to God to recover and when I come back, I have to be strong with a strong mentality, I must work hard, and do my best," said Amartey.
"I have to do more, work hard and do more, to show to my club. I want to thank the chairman. I was sad I got an injury and this happened to my chairman, so it was difficult.
"I want to thank everybody who believed in me and supported me before I signed this contract."
