REVEALED: Norwich whiz Maddison in Leicester for medical

Leicester City are favourites to sign Norwich City attacker James Maddison.

The Sun says the Foxes have won the race to sign Norwich's highly coveted 15-goal midfielder Maddison.

The Foxes have agreed a £24million package, including add-ons for the 21-year-old Canaries' Player of the Year, who is currently in Leicester awaiting his medical later today.

If all goes well Maddison will put pen to paper on a five-year-deal after deciding his future lay with the 2016 title winners rather than Southampton, despite Mark Hughes pulling out all the stops to try and sign the England Under-21 star.

The move takes Leicester's summer spend to the brink of £50million as Maddison joins Jonny Evans and Portuguese World Cup full-back Ricardo Pereira at the King Power Stadium.
