James Maddison has responded to speculation regarding his future at Leicester City. The 25-year-old was heavily linked with an exit from the King Power Stadium in the summer, with Tottenham Hotspur said to have been interested in signing him.
football.london understood that Antonio Conte was in the market for a No. 10 before the transfer window slammed shut, with Christian Eriksen and Jesse Lingard among those of interest. According to the Telegraph, Newcastle United tabled a £40million bid for Maddison which was rejected.
