Dean Smith says he sees a lot of Jack Grealish in James Maddison - and pinpointed the Leicester playmaker as the man capable of leading his club to safety.
The interim Foxes’ chief played a huge role in transforming the career of Manchester City man Grealish when the pair were together at Aston Villa. And he says he can see similarities with fellow England international Maddison who he believes can carry the East Midlands’ club over the line.
He said: “I’m liking what I’m seeing in training and games from James - he’s not disappointed. He looked really bright at Leeds - especially in the last 20 minutes of the game and caused them all sorts of problems.
