Premier League giants Newcastle United will reportedly reignite their desire to sign a top class playmaker in the coming transfer window.

The Magpies are being linked with a move for Leicester City star James Maddison when the Premier League season ends.

With Maddison and his Leicester teammates battling relegation, talk of his future has been put on the back burner.

However, The Telegraph states that a departure for Madison this summer is likely, even if Leicester manage to stay up.

The source adds that Newcastle is a very likely destination for the England star, but only if he commits to the club that he wants to join them at all costs.

Newcastle do not want to overpay for players, given Financial Fair Play constraints and a desire to improve their squad in many areas.
