Amartey, 28, joined the premiership side eight years ago and his contract with the Foxes is due to end this summer.

Reports indicate that Amartey’s teammate and Turkish international, Caglar Soyuncu, has recommended to the Besiktas boss, Senol Gunes to sign the Ghanaian.

Amartey who joined Leicester in 2016 from FC Copenhagen in Denmark is coming to the end of his contract after eight years at the King Power Stadium.

He has also attracted interest from AC Milan and Inter Milan but it appears the Turkish club could move ahead of them to snap the centre back.
