James Maddison open to joining Newcastle
You can understand why Maddison may be open to moving to Tyneside. Unfortunately, it has been a disappointing window for Leicester.
They have kept all of their best players so far. But they have not signed anyone. And they fell three places last year after two years of threatening the top four.
All of the sides above them have looked to move forward this year.
And Newcastle are one of the teams below who look to have closed the gap. The Magpies’ defence is looking incredibly strong. A couple of exciting signings further up the pitch and they could have a remarkable year ahead of them.
Maddison is an ‘‘ player. And he may feel that moving to Newcastle is a better decision for him than staying at Leicester if they cannot sign anyone without selling him first.
