Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Leicester City midfielder James Maddison.
An update from Football Insider claims that the Magpies are currently leading the race to sign the 26-year-old England international and they are ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in the transfer chase.
Tottenham are hoping to sign the talented attacking midfielder as well.
Maddison has 10 goals and 9 assists to his name across all competitions this season and he will look to join a big club this summer. Leicester has been relegated from the Premier League and he is unlikely to play in the Championship next year.
The midfielder has just 12 months left on his £110,000 a week contract and the Foxes will be under pressure to sell him this summer. They will not want to lose him on a free
transfer next year.
Newcastle needs to add more creativity in the middle of the park and Maddison will help them open up defenses and he will chip in with goals as well. The Magpies have drawn 14 league matches this season and players like Maddison will certainly help them turn those draws into wins.
