Arsenal set to sign Leicester star
James Maddison has been a key player on the Leicester squad that has established itself as part of the top of the Premier League. After the club's sensational and surprising championship in 2016, the club had to find itself with manager Brendan Rodgers. Maddison had his big breakthrough last season, and since then the big clubs have had the binoculars aimed at him.
Recent rumors have it that Arsenal, who finished last season in a disappointing 8th place in the Premier League, are looking for the English midfielder. Leicester, however, are demanding a high sum for their profile, as they extended the contract last summer.
About £78.3 million is demanded by The Foxes for Maddison and his technical skills, which would make him the most expensive purchase in Arsenal's history. Nicolas Pepe was brought to the London club in 2019 for 80 Million as the most expensive player in the club's history.
James Maddison has featured in 118 games in the blue Leicester jersey, and has contributed 27 goals and 20 assists.
This is a very good one for the Emirates landlord and it will bring a been improvement to the e Arsenal team,if they are able to price Maddison away form kingpower stadium.
The England attacking midfielder is one of the valuable asset that liecester city have with them and helped them to finish fifth place last season.
Arsenal will be hoping to sign a man that cost more than pepe when they bought him from Lille last season,but a Madison deal to me will enhance the performance of Arsenal in their midfield come neat season
To me I strongly believe that the deal might not go through due to the amount demanded by liecester,but a deal for Arsenal will actually help them to come good and very dreadful in attack come next season, Mikel Arteta and his boys will be hoping to prove their critics wrong when the season commences next month
With that price £78.3?, The arsenal I know might end up not signing James, because the club mostly tend to focus on low transfer prices and hoping stars, I wonder why arsenal doesn't like signing big names, I hope they just scale through this time and not disappoint their fans as they always do in previous transfer Windows
It is going to be a very good signing for arsenal football club. Madison is agreat player who has done so much for his club and country.looking at the quality he will bering to the arsenal team.i see arsenal competing for premier league next season and other trophys in the upcoming season
James Madison will be a great addition to Arsenal Football Club if the deal pulls through. The London Club really seem to need this talented midfielder but the asking price is quite high.
Looking at his quality I believe he will thrive well at the Emirates club. Will leceister be allowing this player live, that's one thing we will have to find out. They might as well do considering an amount like that and if Arsenal reaches the price.
If Arsenal however want to challenge in the new season by making top four or lifting a trophy, they will have to do a lot more than just signing an attacking midfielder. They need more so that's much expectation will not be placed on the midfielder after paying such amount.
