Brendan Rodgers has insisted James Maddison is staying put in the January transfer window. Newcastle United are just one week away from being allowed to recruit more players and bolster their European ambitions.
Last January, Toon chiefs took full advantage of their first opportunity to improve the squad. Five new arrivals joined the Magpies to help propel Eddie Howe’s men out of the relegation zone and up the Premier League.
Leicester City star Maddison - who has seven goals and four assists this season - is a player Newcastle desired once top-flight safety was secured. ChronicleLive understands two bids were rejected by the Foxes in August, believed to be in the region of £45million.
