Former Leicester City right back Danny Simpson has only good things to say about James Maddison.

While the two did not share too long in the Leicester dressing room, it was enough time for Simpson to witness the young attacking midfielder's quality in person.

Simpson believes Maddison is good enough to move to a club like Manchester United in the future.

When asked about a possible transfer on Goals on Sunday last month, Simpson said: "Yeah. He, for me, is world class.

"I think people are speaking right now but honestly I think for an English player as well, honestly he's world class and he's only going to get better and better.

"He's that good, honestly. Honestly, he's got it all.

"He's quick in his mind so I think he doesn't need to have blistering pace running past people because he's clever and he thinks before everyone else.

"He gets in them little pockets, gets into the right spaces, he's kind of got eyes in the back of his head.

"The way he receives the ball and turns and puts defenders on the back foot."
