Leicester are hoping to land a fee as high as £60m for the Englishman, who scored 10 and assisted nine in 30 Premier League appearances this season, states the report.
Tottenham’s chances of signing Maddison seem fairly slim for several reasons. Newcastle have put in the groundwork, the Magpies have Champions League football to offer the England star and the trajectory of the North East club is much more positive than the North London outfit.
