Fans convinced they know James Maddison’s next transfer after ‘teasing’ Instagram post during England duty
ONE club's supporters believe James Maddison is heading their way this summer after the star “teased” his transfer future while with England.
The Leicester attacker is about to enter the final year of his contract and looks set to depart following relegation.
The Foxes are demanding at least £40m for the 26-year-old with a host of teams keen on signing him.
Maddison has been linked with an exit for months with Newcastle long-term admirers of the star.
Tottenham are also keen while Arsenal have now made him one of their top summer targets.
Maddison is with Gareth Southgate’s England squad at St. George’s Park as they prepare for the Euro qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.

During some downtime, the ex-Coventry City and Norwich ace posted a snap of himself playing pool at the Three Lions HQ.
But it was the man he was facing, Newcastle forward Callum Wilson, that sent Toon fans into a frenzy.
One tweeted: “Wilson and Maddison chilling, what a tease.
“Surely he knows what he's doing with this!”

Despite a dreadful campaign from the 2016 Premier League title winners, Maddison still managed to shine and scored ten goals and registered nine assists in the top-flight.
He has been at the King Power since 2018 but after regaining his place in the Three Lions set-up, he knows he needs to be playing at the top level to make next summer’s European Championship squad.
