James Maddison would prove to be a 'huge success' at Newcastle United - but the Magpies have been warned they will need to pay far more than their opening bid of £40 million. That is the view of talkSPORT duo Alan Brazil and Ally McCoist, who both gave their verdict on the 'fantastic' Leicester City star.
Eddie Howe has so far been frustrated in his efforts to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer. Newcastle have landed top defensive target Sven Botman, while also agreeing permanent deals for Nick Pope and Matt Targett.
However, the Magpies again missed out on French wonderkid Hugo Ekitike despite agreeing a deal with Reims for a second successive transfer window. The teenage forward opted to join Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain on an initial season-long loan deal.
