Leicester City have struggled in the league this season without N’golo Kante who was impressive in the defensive midfield position last season.

Claudio Ranieri has identified Ndidi who can also play in defence as the solution to his midfield problems.

Leicester City and Genk have now agreed on a deal for the midfielder to join the Foxes in January in a £15m.
