James Maddison has told Leicester City he wants to stay at the club despite interest from Manchester United and Arsenal, according to reports.

The 22-year-old was signed by Leicester in a £20 million deal from Norwich City last summer and was impressive in his first season in the Premier League.

Maddison scored seven goals and registered seven assists in 36 Premier League appearances, while his performances have attracted interest from several clubs.

Earlier this week, reports claimed that Manchester United have made contact with Leicester to discuss a deal for Maddison, but the Foxes are demanding £60 million for the midfielder.

Leicester’s valuation has also scuppered Arsenal’s hopes of securing a deal for Maddison as they have a summer budget of around £40m after failing to secure a place in next season’s Champions League.



But despite interest from both clubs, The Sun claims that Maddison has informed Leicester that he is happy to stay for another season and is even open to the prospect of signing a new contract.

Maddison still has four years remaining on his current deal with Leicester, which is worth around £50,000 a week.

The report also claims that Maddison is enjoying working under Brendan Rodgers and believes the Leicester City boss can help turn him into a regular for England.

Maddison missed out on a place in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Nations League finals but has been named in England Under-21 squad for Euro 2019 in Italy and San Marino.
