The compliments sparked comparisons to the former Leicester defender Harry Maguire who currently plays for Manchester United, with some claiming that the Black Stars player is better than the English centre back.
Daniel Amartey is better than Harry Maguire.??

His performance will be a delight to the Black Stars coach, Milovan Rajevac and he is expected to join the group at the camp for preparation ahead of the upcoming AFCON.
The defending of corners has certainly changed. Now #LCFC are putting their best headers against the oppositions. Ndidi has Van Dijk and Amartey has Matip. Man for man.
