The highly-rated defensive midfielder is a man in demand this summer.
As per Daily Express, the Foxes are not the only club after Santamaria. Tottenham, Everton and Aston Villa are some of the other interested parties.
Santamaria has been likened to N’Golo Kante because of similar playing styles and it will be interesting to see where he plays if the Foxes sign him.
Ndidi plays a similar role for Rodgers and he has been quite impressive at it. It seems that Santamaria and Ndidi will have to fight for the one starting berth.
His arrival would certainly add more depth and quality to the Leicester City squad.
