Leicester City are reportedly closing in on a deal with Norwich for the transfer of midfielder James Maddison, the Eastern Daily Press claim.
The 21-year-old enjoyed a breakout season for the Canaries, making a huge 49 appearances in all competitions in the 2017/18 season, scoring 15 goals and recording eight assists.
The dynamism Maddison brought to the Championship supposedly caught the eye of many Premier League clubs, but 2015/16 champions Leicester City appear to have won the race for the Englishman’s signature.

Norwich are set to receive over £20 million for the former Coventry star, a sum which will fund City’s own transfer business.
With gaps to fill all over the squad, the influx of cash will come at a convenient time for a club who have aspirations to return to the top-flight of English football.
Whilst the loss of Maddison will be profoundly felt, fans will have to hope manager Daniel Farke can introduce players with similar attacking pedigree to the squad.
