James Maddison is the latest name linked to Newcastle United as Eddie Howe looks to bolster his attacking options. The Magpies are said to have seen a £40 million bid for the England international turned down, with reports suggesting Leicester City are holding out for closer to £60m.
Howe has already landed long-time defensive target Sven Botman, as well as securing permanent deals for Nick Pope and Matt Targett. However, Newcastle have so far been frustrated in their efforts to sign attackers in the summer window.
Moussa Diaby, Anthony Gordon and Jack Harrison are among the wingers recently linked, with Hugo Ekitike and Jesse Lingard securing moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Nottingham Forest respectively. The new season may be only a week away, but there is still plenty of time for Newcastle to make their moves ahead of the deadline on September 1.
