Callum Wilson has credited James Maddison as the most dedicated free-kick taker he has ever seen. Newcastle United failed in two attempts to sign the Leicester City midfielder last summer, with a second bid - believed to be around £45million, laughed off by manager Brendan Rodgers.
Uncertainty continues to surround the 25-year-old after a stellar start to the campaign. Despite Leicester’s poor start, Maddison has excelled, bagging five goals in eight games to prove exactly why Toon chiefs were interested.
Reports suggest Newcastle maintain interest in the midfielder as he approaches the final 18 months of his contract. One eye-catching attribute Maddison produces is, undoubtedly, his free-kick prowess.
