"With the huge injuries Leicester have suffered this season (particularly in defence), Amartey has risen to the demands of this side. He made 40 appearances in all competitions and moved himself above Caglar Soyuncu and Jannik Vestergaard in the pecking order. He’s been 'Mr Consistent' and become a strong backbone of this Foxes side this season," said Owynn Palmer-Atkin as quoted by the BBC.

Fans of Leicester City will vote to pick their best among the quartet.
