Arsenal and Manchester United are eyeing Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi.

The Mirror says Ndidi has been branded "the new N'Golo Kante " after his stunning turn in performances have flung the Foxes up the Premier League table.

The central midfielder snubbed the Gunners' advances in the summer before the Foxes pushed through a deal in January, but could reopen their interest when the window opens.

Leicester signed the Nigerian for £17m from Genk to fill the hole left by omnipresent Kante - who joined Chelsea in the summer.

The Foxes have risen from the relegation zone to 13th after four straight league wins, which has got the Gunners, United, Southampton and Bundesliga side Hamburg whipping their cheque books out.
