James Maddison is on the verge of signing a new contract with Leicester City.

But the move is not to increase his transfer value, according to a report in The Atheltic , but more to reward him for a string of fine performances.

Maddison has been a key cog in Brendan Rodgers' side after their stunning start to the season and is set to be rewarded.

The 23-year-old has been involved in 10 goals in 17 matches in all competitions, with netting five times and setting up three goals in the Premier League.

He's also played a crucial role in the eight-match winning streak that has seen City rise to second in the League table, eight points behind unbeaten leaders Liverpool.

Maddison has scored four goals and set up one - Jonny Evans' strike in the 4-1 win at Aston Villa on Sunday.

That's why Leicester are set to sign him up to fresh terms - with a reported £100 million price tag slapped on the England international to ward off Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, who have been linked with a move for the former Coventry City man.
