James Maddison has extended his stay at the King Power Stadium according to Goal.

The new contract will keep him at Leicester City until 2024 with his current yet to finish in 2023. The English International was a strong admirer of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before the coronavirus break and as he was heavily linked to joining the Red Devils after the league campaign.

Lengthening his contract stalled due to his wage demand but an agreement has put him level with Jamie Vardy, who is among the highest earners in the club in a £110,000-a-week contract.
