Ghana international, Daniel Amartey, won the English Community Shield Cup with club side, Leicester City over the weekend.

The 26-year-old was handed a starting role by Brendan Rogers and the central defender was magnificent for the Foxes.

Leicester got the opportunity to play in the Community Shield after they won the FA Cup last year, beating Chelsea in the final.

Leicester managed to snatch a late winner through Nigerian attacker, Kelechi Ihenacho, to win the Community Shield.

Despite not playing in the FA Cup final, Amartey proved he could be relied on for the centre back role at any time.
