James Maddison makes his first return to Norwich on Friday with Brendan Rodgers insisting the midfielder can further his career at Leicester.

Maddison has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most highly-regarded young players after completing his £21 million move from Norwich to Leicester in June 2018.

The 23 year-old is now an England senior international and in the frame for the Euro 2020 squad, with rival clubs including Manchester United and Arsenal among the list of admirers.

But Maddison is in advanced talks over a new contract with the Champions League chasers, with negotiations close to completion as Leicester move to tie down one of their key players.

“There are ongoing talks with the club and his representatives, and I am hopeful it will be done,” said Rodgers.

“The boy is very happy, he wants to be here and he sees this as the club he can develop at.

“He is on a great learning curve and is a player who wants to get to the very highest level.

“He has made a rapid rise from League One into the Premier League and he is constantly developing.”

Maddison will be assured of a warm reception at Carrow Road, after making a huge impact under Norwich head coach Daniel Farke.
