James Maddison has said questions over his personality and professionalism when it comes to a potential England call-up are 'insulting'. The one-cap international was man-of-the-match as Leicester City earned their first Premier League win of the season with a comprehensive derby victory over Nottingham Forest.
Maddison netted twice and registered an assist in the 4-0 win over the newly-promoted side at the King Power Stadium on Monday night. The 25-year-old has made a fine start to the season despite the Foxes' struggles, but looks set to miss out on the Three Lions' World Cup squad after not being called up for the recent Nations League fixtures.
Newcastle failed with two summer bids for Maddison, with recent reports suggesting the Magpies will return with an approach in January. The playmaker has less than two years' left on his contract, and Leicester's poor start to the season could encourage interested parties to test the waters with a mid-season bid.
