The Reds offered the striker a new deal but the 19-year-old wants to explore the possibility of a move to Spain.

Sinclair became Liverpool's youngest player in 2012 when he came off the bench in a League Cup tie at West Brom, aged 16 years and six days.

Stuart Broad and which four other players make up the top five in the ICC Test Bowling Rankings?

It's a toughie, answers later in the day...

FK: I'd get Pep some tact, clearly he needs some. Announcing mid season he's coming to England, putting pressure on some managers.  

Sam Latham: Dont get him a cake. If he moves to City, Yaya wont speak to him.

Goonerama: Get Pep some classic Smiths, Oasis and Elbow albums. No particular reason, just some good bands that popped into my head...

"The club is in trouble; we need someone to come in and save it," the assistant manager said. "It's sad. It's a club with fantastic facilities and I'm surprised nobody has taken a punt on it. We hope there will be light at the end of the tunnel but I can't see it as the moment."

Here is what you need to know about Leicester's new signing:

• Won six caps for Ghana.
• Began his career at a second division club in Ghana before he was scouted and moved to Swedish side Djurgardens IF.
• In 2013, Amartey was linked with a move to Liverpool.
• Signed by FC Copenhagen in 2014 for 2.5m euros and last season won the Danish Cup.

More from FC Copenhagen chief executive Anders Horsholt, on the sale of defender Daniel Amartey to Leicester City.

Horsholt said the Danish club could not "turn down a transfer of this size."

"It is the best outcome for FC Copenhagen. It is part of our strategy as a club and a company to develop players to a level, where they get so attractive that clubs from the biggest leagues will buy them for large sums of money."

Horsholt also said it was Amartey's dream to play in the Premier League for Leicester, who "have targeted him for a long time."

Scott Douglas: Give Pep the ability that Alex Ferguson had to nurture & develop a young new team, relying on the old guard just like at Barca. 

Ivan Bucic Buco: Buy him Zlatan Ibrahimovic's book.

Pep and the Swedish striker had a difficult relationship at Barcelona.

Steve Walford confirmed that Bolton will be without David Wheater, Zac Clough, Emile Heskey and Ben Amos for the cup tie with Eastleigh and admits to being wary of what lies ahead after his side recovered to earn a 1-1 draw at Silverlake Stadium.

"Eastleigh were a good team from what I could see," he said. "Because of our position, I'd imagine any team coming here would fancy their chances. It is up to us to prove them wrong. 

"If we get a win tomorrow then hopefully we get another on Saturday which will lead to going on a run. That is what we need to do."
