For those who have followed Amartey’s journey, this was not an isolated moment. Acts of giving have become a regular part of his off-field life.

Not long ago, he paid a surprise visit to Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak at their training base in Kpobiman.

During that visit, the former Leicester City centre-back donated packs of bottled water and assorted beverages to the team, as noted by Ghanasoccernet.

It was another quiet but impactful act of kindness that reflected his enduring connection to the local football scene.
