Chelsea have been tipped to beat Tottenham and Newcastle in landing James Maddison this summer, should they join the transfer race. The Leicester City playmaker has been heavily linked with a move away from the King Power stadium this window, with the Foxes in need of exits before they can make signings of their own.
The 25-year-old has two years remaining on his contract at the club, opening up a possible switch as his future beyond then is uncertain. Maddison was a hugely influential player for Leicester in a struggling campaign last time out.
The midfielder managed 18 goals and 12 assists in all competitions last season, his best return since making the step up to the Premier League in 2018. While he had clearly impressed, his output still wasn't enough to earn a place in Gareth Southgate's summer England squad, still looking to add to his solitary cap back in 2019.
