Tottenham hold major James Maddison transfer advantage amid Newcastle's £45m Anthony Gordon deal

Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United transfer target James Maddison could still leave Leicester before the end of the January transfer window. The Foxes have rejected every proposal for Maddison thus far with the club making their stance very clear that only a huge offer would tempt them into selling in the coming days.

The attacking midfielder's form for Leicester in the first part of the season saw him called up to England's World Cup squad but an injury prevented him from featuring prominently. That same issue plagued his return to Leicester with the 26-year-old missing the first four games following the resumption of the Premier League season.

Brendan Rodgers was able to welcome Maddison back into the fold for the clash with Brighton last Saturday, handing him a 20-minute cameo in the 2-2 draw. His return from injury, coupled with the January window entering its final stages, has seen talk of a departure resurface and both Newcastle and Tottenham are likely to be on high alert after Leicester's latest move in January.
