Journalist Dean Jones has claimed that James Maddison will go straight into Newcastle’s starting XI if a transfer is completed in the summer.
Newcastle have been interested in the Leicester City midfielder since last summer and even made two bids in the region of £50m for him but the Foxes rejected both of them as it was short of their valuation of the midfielder which was close to £60m.
The Magpies have not given up on their pursuit of the English midfielder with Dean Jones claiming that “there is a chance” that James Maddison will join Newcastle in the summer.
Speaking in the latest episode of Chasing Green Arrows, Jones said (37:40 – 37:58):
“There is a chance. They’re looking at it. It’s a big call for Maddison, where he goes next.
“I think he likes the ambition that Newcastle show. I think there’s an obvious role in that team for him.
“From what I understand, Eddie Howe would see him playing off the right as a creative outlet.”
James Maddison has been one of the best midfielders in the league and has been consistently performing at the highest level since a couple of years earning interest from a number of top clubs.
Despite Leicester City’s struggles this season, Maddison has still managed to score 9 goals and provided 5 assists in 21 games.
