'transport needed by santa' is the definition.
'sleigh' can be an answer for 'transport' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'needed by santa' bit.

'his leg is broken' is the wordplay.
'is broken' indicates an anagram.
'his'+'leg'='hisleg'
'hisleg' is an anagram of 'SLEIGH'.

Can you help me to learn more?
