Celtic poised to sign former Premier League Winner who worked under Brendan Rodgers at Leicester

Over his four years as Leicester’s manager, Brendan Rodgers, the head coach of the Hornets, oversaw the midfield powerhouse.

When Amartey left the demoted Foxes last summer, he was heavily linked to a move to Parkhead.

However, the 29-year-old chose to sign as a free agent with Turkish powerhouse Besiktas.

Despite making 27 appearances for the Super Lig team this season, he has lost favor after a strong start.

Furthermore, rumors from Amartey’s native West Africa state that Rodgers plans to try to get back together with the 53-cap international this summer.

After joining Leicester in January of 2016, Amartey had a minor role in the team’s unexpected championship victory. Amartey played in the Premier League for more than seven seasons.

He later contributed to the East Midlands team’s first-ever FA Cup victory in 2021, under Rodgers’ leadership.

It is currently said that the Northern Irishman is keen to include Amartey in the Hoops team as he hopes to win the Premiership for a record fourth time in May of 2019.

The midfielder totaled 145 senior appearances for Leicester, with three goals in those games.

With one game remaining in the Super Lig, the collapsed giants of Istanbul are a massive 43 points behind leaders and local rivals Galatasaray, sitting in fifth place in Turkey.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has opened up about another near-miss deal, revealing that SEVEN YEARS AGO, he attempted to sign the player of the moment, Ademola Lookman.

He attempted to get the forward from Charlton to Scotland, but Everton outdid him.

Since then, the Nigerian international has been a sensation for Atalanta, RB Leipzig, and Fulham. In Dublin, he won the Europa League by shooting an incredible hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen, who had never lost before.

“Going back to my first spell here at Celtic, I met with Ade as he was about to leave Charlton and we looked to get him up,” Rodgers stated.
