Leicester to offer Maddison new deal

Leicester City are ready to offer James Maddison a new contract.

The midfielder is inside the final two years of his current deal and the Foxes intend to extend the agreement, says the Daily Mail.

Maddison finished last season on a high, scoring in each of the final four league matches and ending with 18 goals and 12 assists in all competitions, by far the best return of his career.

'It's the best I've seen James in the three and a half years I've been at Leicester,' said Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers earlier this month, referring to the midfielder's late-season form.

Maddison, 25, is admired across the Premier League although there has yet to be a firm bid this summer.
