James Maddison has penned a new four-year contract with Leicester City, confirmed by the club on Monday evening.

The former Norwich City player has made 76 appearances for City in all competitions, scoring 16 goals. He was named the Club’s Young Player of the Season at the end of the 2018/19 campaign.

The midfielder was earlier linked with Manchester United before the restart. His creativity in midfield has earned him much admirers since his £20 million moves in 2018 and his commitment could be the start of a new era in a Leicester shirt at King Power.

“I’m so happy to sign a new contract for this Football Club,” he said after signing the contract.
