Liverpool have reportedly made enquiries over Leicester City midfielder James Maddison.

The Englishman is hot property after a superb debut season at the King Power Stadium.

The £22 million signing from Norwich City impressed fans and neutrals with his creativity and set piece ability.

His performances have caught the attention of the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, but The Daily Star claim Liverpool are also keen.

The report claims Maddison has been valued in the region of £60 million, which would provide the Foxes with a handsome return on their initial investment – not that they would want to sell.

TBR’s view

Maddison is destined to be a top quality Premier League player, and Liverpool have every chance of landing him given their amazing trajectory in the last couple of years.

The champions of Europe don’t need many additions this summer but arguably there is scope for a goalscoring midfielder.

It is likely that Maddison would flourish in Liverpool’s team, with Jurgen Klopp a superb developer of players.

He would not come cheap and it’s been reported previously that the Reds won’t spend big, but hypothetically he’d be a real statement signing – especially with main league rivals Manchester City linked.
