Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers expects to keep hold of James Maddison in January.

Maddison's current deal expires at the end of next season and he's interesting Newcastle United.

"I've been given no indication that we have to do anything with James in January," said Leicester boss Rodgers. "He's someone I want to keep here.

"When you have good players, it's a good sign, they'll always be coveted by other teams. That's OK, I'm confident those players will be here. My focus is on improving the squad. That's what I want to do.

"Newcastle have signed players who have improved the dynamic of the team. They're trying to build something there, they'll improve and get better. I'm sure they'll strengthen their squad, and they'll have the motivation to stay in the top four."
