Man United and Chelsea pursuits give Newcastle United hope in James Maddison transfer chase

A familiar, defiant warning continues to be sent out by those in charge at Leicester City this summer as clubs circle to try and steal their brightest talent before the end of the month. The Foxes insist both James Maddison and Wesley Fofana won't be sold despite being heavily linked with Newcastle United and Chelsea respectively.

The duo both featured in the 2-2 draw with Brentford on Sunday, as Maddison put in a Man of the Match performance despite Brendan Rodgers' side surrendering a two-goal advantage at the King Power Stadium. Newcastle are considering launching a third bid for the attacking midfielder in the coming days.

Leicester are no strangers when it comes to losing big-name players, including the likes of Harry Maguire, Ben Chilwell and N'Golo Kante in years gone by. And the former Premier League champions' initial stance to those outgoings gives the Magpies hope this summer.
