The Ghanian - who has played in defence, midfield, and attack - has been with the club for 13 years, making 149 first team appearances and scoring 15 goals in the process.
The academy graduate has been a part of two championships, most notably last season’s Premier League title. He also picked up the Players’ Player and Young Player of the Year titles for the club after the 2014/2015 season.
13 years with #lcfc - some amazing memories and a massive part of my life. Thank you to everyone at the club and the fans for your support.
