According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Leicester City midfielder James Maddison has put pen to paper on a new four-year deal that will see him make ₤110,000 perweek
.
Manchester United and a number of bigwigs home and abroad were keen on the 23- year-old ahead of the summer transfer window that has now opened today, however he has chose to commit his peak years to Brendan Rodgers’ side rather.
The England international will now wish to lead them to a top-four finish next term after they directly lost out on it right at the end of the 2019-20 English Premier League campaign.
Maddison included in 31 league games for Leicester, scoring 6 times and weighing in with 3 assists, however injury ruled him out of the last 6 games, and his lack dealt a huge blow on the side.
The Foxes struggled for imagination in the final 3rd in those games, winning just 2 and losing 3, and they will need to opt for Europa League football next term having actually invested most of the campaign in the Champions League zone.
Maddison joined Leicester from Norwich City for around ₤20 million in June 2018, and has developed himself as one of the very best players in his position in the English top-flight.
That attracted him to the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and co, however his suitors will need to look in other places for the quality attacker they desire after the King Power Arena outfit chose to hand him an enhanced deal, with Rodgers playing a huge role in his decision to remain.
