James Maddison 'open to Leicester City exit amid Arsenal talk'

James Maddison is reportedly open to the idea of leaving Leicester City during this summer's transfer window, with Arsenal believed to be keen on his signature.

The 24-year-old signed a new long-term deal with the Foxes last August and made 42 appearances for the club during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring 11 times and contributing 10 assists.

Maddison struggled with a hip problem in the second half of the season, though, and was not included in the England squad for this summer's European Championship.

Arsenal are said to be keen on signing the playmaker this summer, and according to 90min, he would be open to leaving the King Power Stadium, particularly to join a London club.

The report, though, claims that the Gunners would have to come up with a 'big offer' in order to convince Leicester to sell, as Brendan Rodgers's side are not actively looking to move him on.

Maddison has also previously been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea.
