Source close to James Maddison reveals stance on Newcastle move as Leicester tell Spurs their price
It sounds like James Maddison might fancy a summer move to Newcastle United.
According to The Telegraph, a source close to the Leicester City star has revealed that he's 'tempted by the idea' of joining Eddie Howe's exciting new project at St James' Park.
The same piece highlights that he's 'previously indicated his desire' to join a London club - a promising sign for Spurs. However, they will not be able to offer the 26-year-old Champions League football or any European football whatsoever after finishing the 2022/23 season in 8th.
This may play a key role, especially when he's keen to take his career to the next level and experience the highest level of European football.
The Telegraph also report on Leicester's price tag. They are notoriously tough sellers and look set to demand in excess of £50m after Spurs signalled their intent to launch an opening offer - a hefty fee now he's entering the final 12 months of his contract.
It remains to be seen who'll win the bidding war between Spurs and Newcastle, with new boss Ange Postecoglou also a big fan, but it sounds like we might just have an advantage on the North London side following our contrasting ends to the season.
