Wilfred Ndidi
Many analysts see the Genk midfielder as a replacement for Kante who joined Chelsea during the summer transfer window after helping the King Power stadium outfit win the English Premier League title for the first time last season.
"I don't have to be Kante. Kante is Kante. We are different players," Ndidi told Leicestermercury.
"I have my own style of play and I don't want to be under pressure to be another player. I just have to go there (Leicester City) and play my own game.
"I am more comfortable in the midfield. I am now more used to playing there than in other positions."
Ndidi joined Genk from Nath Boys of Lagos for about £80,000 as a central defender in 2015;and will join Leicester for a fee that could be up to 18.6 million pounds.
