Simon Jordan expects James Maddison to become a Newcastle United player this summer. The former Crystal Palace owner highlighted Leicester City’s previous record of cashing in on star assets if the price is right.
N’Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez and Harry Maguire have left the Foxes in recent seasons after establishing themselves at the King Power Stadium. As it stands, the Magpies are still way below matching their valuation for Maddison.
Two bids have been rejected for the 25-year-old - who has one England cap - as Toon chiefs aim to strengthen Eddie Howe’s attacking options. The last bid, which was rejected on Tuesday, was understood to be just shy of £50million.
