Newcastle United continue to be linked with Leicester City and England playmaker James Maddison heading into the January transfer window. The Magpies had two bids knocked back for the Foxes talisman in the summer and speculation hasn't slowed down linking the 26-year-old with a move to St. James' Park.
The chemistry between Maddison and Newcastle United trio; Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson and Nick Pope, on international duty has done nothing to douse the fires of speculation ahead of a return to Premier League action. The winter transfer window is just over a week away and black and white supporters would love to see Maddison make the move up north come the end of the window.
However, the Foxes' relegation plight may have a bigger impact that first imagined. Brendan Rodgers' side have recovered from the early season wobble and shot up the table with a string of impressive results before the break, but still sit just four points above the drop zone.
