Leicester City boss Claude Puel has no problem with Tottenham being linked to James Maddison.

Puel insists interest from bigger clubs in James Maddison can only be a good thing for Leicester.

"If we played with a poor performance, without the possibility to develop our players, perhaps other teams wouldn't be interested in our players," Puel said.

"A lot of our players develop interest from other clubs but this is a good feeling and they have time to continue their work and develop themselves. Leicester is a good club and we showed the project we are trying to put in place, and it's a good feeling to have this feedback from opponents in football.

"This player (Maddison) just started their career in the Premier League and now they have to keep their focus on their game. For a young player, we have to find good consistency. Maddison and other young players - it's not finished for them yet - they didn't have consistency or a clinical edge all the time. They all need to make progress and we will be passionate with these players."
