Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has already outlined James Maddison's quality that will make him a perfect fit for Eddie Howe's Newcastle United. The Foxes playmaker is one of the brightest talents in the Premier League and has been linked with a move to St. James' Park this summer.
Not only would Maddison bring quality in forward areas of the pitch, but Rodgers has been full of praise for his off the ball work rate. After scoring in Leicester's 2-0 win over Fulham back in February 2021, Rodgers told talkSPORT : “He’s a brilliant player. We’ve always talked about his numbers and getting his numbers up, him and the front players, and that’s the job.
“What he has also added to his game is he’s working very hard for the team. Tactically he’s understanding where to be. Towards the end [against Fulham] we just had to get him to close the game out. He’s a special player. He’s efficient and that’s what you want from your attacking players.”
