Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are among several clubs reportedly closely monitoring Wilfred Ndidi.
Ndidi was part of the Leicester City squad relegated from the Premier League last season but remained a regular starter for the Foxes even in the Championship.
The Foxes, currently aiming for automatic promotion, are top of the table with 88 points from 40 matches.
Other Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, Brighton and Hove Albion, and Wolverhampton Wanderers, are also interested in the midfielder. Despite their strong position, there's growing concern that the 27-year-old might depart in the summer transfer window, as reported by HITC.

He has scored four goals and provided six assists in 30 games across all competitions this season.
European powerhouse Barcelona is also in the mix, reportedly interested in securing Ndidi on a free transfer.
The Catalans' pursuit of the Super Eagles star, alongside Arsenal's Jorginho, stems from their financial constraints. As reported by Team Talk, they want to strategically target midfielders who could be available on free transfers at the end of the ongoing campaign.
However, the Nigeria international isn't only drawing interest from the Spanish club. Galatasaray and Everton are also reportedly keen on acquiring his services.
Since joining Leicester in 2017, Ndidi has become an integral part of the squad, amassing over 250 appearances for the club. While there have been rumours linking him to moves abroad, there's a possibility he might continue his career in England.
