Gabby Agbonlahor has taken aim at Newcastle United for a 'disrespectful' opening £40million offer for James Maddison. The Leicester City playmaker has emerged as one of the Magpies targets in an advanced position but the Foxes have rejected the opening offer.
The Toon have been told to cough up an offer in the region of £60million with Brendan Rodgers joking the original offer 'cover three-quarters of his left leg.' The Foxes were told to expect an improved bid from Newcastle as Eddie Howe's side launch their own bid for European football, and the Toon have since gone back in with an improved offer.
Before that second bid, Agbonlahor told Talksport : "I think it is disrespectful (Newcastle United) bidding £40m for James Maddison. I think the career he’s had so far, especially towards the second half of last season, he definitely deserved an England call.
