For a second successive summer, James Maddison to Arsenal could be a hot transfer topic amid reports linking the Leicester City midfielder with a move to north London ahead of the 2022/23 season. Although, the Gunners could face competition from rivals Tottenham Hotspur to land a long-time target.
It has been claimed that the Foxes could be tempted to cash in on the 25-year-old this summer in order to freshen up Brendan Rodgers' playing squad - but will still command a big fee said to be in the region of £60m which could turn out to be a sticking point for Arsenal in particular.
As previously revealed by football.london , the reason a deal for Maddison did not materialise last summer is because the Gunners were not willing to pay in excess of £60million and when Martin Odegaard became available for half the price in the closing weeks of the transfer window, the decision was made to close the deal for the Norway international instead.
