Former Newcastle United defender claims James Maddison ‘perfect’ Bruno Guimaraes partner

Jose Enrique believes Leicester City midfielder James Maddison would “suit” Newcastle United. Toon chiefs failed in two attempts to sign the England international last summer.

However, the 26-year-old will only have a year left on his contract in June, meaning the Foxes should reduce their asking price. Maddison has responded to uncertainty about his future in emphatic fashion by starring as Leicester’s player of the season, scoring nine goals in 16 games.

Reports have continued to link him with a Tyneside move but that has not deterred his performance on the pitch. Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have also been linked with the Leicester sensation.
