Brendan Rodgers claims Tottenham-linked James Maddison won’t leave in January
James Maddison has been excellent for Leicester City this season. The England midfielder has helped the Foxes to second in the Premier League and has also featured for the national team.
The 23-year-old has five goals and three assists for Leicester this season and has been linked with Tottenham (h/t Football.london).
Maddison joined Leicester from Norwich City around 18 months ago, and his progress has been incredible.
However, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers believes that none of his players will leave the club next month (h/t Football.london):
“If you’re doing well, there will always be speculation.
“The boys understand that. Maddison has started the season very well, he’s been very productive. He’s a bright young player and he’s got a bright future.
“There’ll be no-one leaving in January. Categorically.”
Tottenham’s midfield problems
Maddison could work wonders for this Spurs team as we lack goals from the midfield. Christian Eriksen is a free agent in the summer while Giovani Lo Celso hasn’t played much under Jose Mourinho.
Eriksen has struggled for consistency this season while Lo Celso hasn’t been able to cement a place under the new boss.
Mourinho has to solve this issue soon as almost half the season is already done.
