Arsenal are preparing a swap offer for Leicester City ace James Maddison.

The Daily Mail says Arsenal are willing to offer Leicester a number of players as they explore whether it will be possible to sign Maddison this summer.

It is believed that at this stage, £50million would not be enough to bring Leicester to the table, but Arsenal would allow a fringe player – such as winger Reiss Nelson – to move in the opposite direction to sweeten the deal.

And Arsenal believe Leicester are prepared to negotiate.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who Leicester looked at last January, is another player available for transfer.
