‘Really Don’t Want Him’ ‘£50M For A Championship Player Lol’ Fans Not Impressed As Arsenal Are Tipped To Revive Interest In 26 Year Old

‘Really Don’t Want Him’ ‘£50M For A Championship Player Lol’ Fans Not Impressed As Arsenal Are Tipped To Revive Interest In 26 Year Old

Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham are all pursuing Leicester attacking midfielder James Maddison, according to reports in the UK.

The 26-year-old is set to leave the King Power Stadium after the Foxes were relegated to the Championship on the final day of the season.


Maddison was originally linked with the Gunners before they signed Martin Odegaard on a permanent basis in 2021 but fans on Twitter don’t think that the club should reignite their interest in the player now:

Leicester reportedly want between £40m and £50m for Maddison, which is a pretty high figure considering they have been relegated and the playmaker has a year left on his contract.

The England international is a very talented player, having scored 10 goals and contributed nine assists in 30 league appearances this season, but you do feel that the ship has sailed in terms of a move to Arsenal.

Newcastle have been pursuing Maddison’s signature since last summer and you would have to think that the Magpies are his most likely destination.
