The Premier League have confirmed on their official website that Leicester City have offered teenager Dennis Gyamfi the chance to remain at the King Power – amid reported interest from Arsenal and Rangers.

Gyamfi, 18, has excelled at right-back for Leicester’s Under-18 side as he continues his impressive development in the Leicester youth academy. He has even made his debut for the club’s Under-23 side this season.

However, Gyamfi is looking elsewhere already. With his contract expiring on June 30, the Ghanaian right-back is wary of wasting time in his career – with Ricardo Pereira and James Justin getting all the game time.

The Daily Record claim both Arsenal and Rangers, as well as Manchester United, are interested in Gyamfi with his contract due to expire. Now, the Premier League have claimed on their retained lists that Leicester have offered Gyamfi a new deal – but he is yet to put pen to paper.

TBR’s view – Which club is best for Gyamfi?

Just this week, Arsenal have confirmed a four-year deal for Cedric Soares. If Gyamfi wants to leave Leicester because of his lack of first-team chances due to Justin and Pereira, then surely there is no point in joining Arsenal.

The Gunners boast Hector Bellerin, Cedric and both Sokratis and Calum Chambers can fill in. Manchester United have faith in youth, but both Diego Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are first choice.

Remaining at Leicester is a solid move. Gyamfi needs to make himself a regular in the Under-23 side and then go out on loan. But at Rangers he could be considered first back-up to James Tavernier. Ibrox is tempting.
