Norwich City today confirmed £3 million teen sensation James Maddison will not be recalled early from his Dons loan spell.

The 19-year-old’s superb form has sparked speculation the Canaries could call him back before the deal expires on January 4.

That will not happen and Maddison, who scored a sensational last-minute winner to defeat Rangers 2-1, will be at Pittodrie until the New Year at the very least.

When contacted by the Evening Express, Norwich City confirmed: “James Maddison is on loan until January 4 and we cannot recall him before that.

“He will remain on loan until then.”

The attacking midfielder has scored twice and produced a number of Man of the Match performances since arriving on transfer deadline day.

That £3m outlay from Norwich to Coventry City in January could double with future add-ons.

Norwich refused to comment when asked if the loan could be extended past January.

Maddison excelled in the 4-0 win over Kilmarnock at the weekend to extend the winning streak to four games.

Dons boss Derek McInnes said: “James is going to be a top player and is working his way towards that with us.

“He has a big reputation and went for a lot of money for a reason.

“Against Kilmarnock he showed what he can do and has done that since coming here.

“James worked hard at Kilmarnock although there are still areas he needs to improve on.

“He brings real thought, guile and craft to a team that has pace and good players.

“James adds that little mix to help bring it all together.”

Aberdeen have no game at the weekend due to the international break for the World Cup 2018 qualifiers.

The next game is at home to Ross County on Saturday, October 15.

It is hoped skipper Ryan Jack will return soon after the break following a two-month absence having undergone knee surgery.

“Hopefully by the time we come out of the international break Ryan will be close to coming in,” said McInnes.

“Then it will be a clean bill of health for everyone.”
