Fulham keen on Maddison deal

Norwich City midfielder James Maddison is attracting the interest of newly-promoted Fulham according to the Mirror.

The Cottagers have joined the race for the 21-year-old following their 1-0 victory over Aston Villa in the Championship play-off final last month.

Maddison was the leading light in a disappointing campaign for the Canaries, scoring 14 goals an providing eight assists in the league.

His form has attracted interest from England’s elite, with Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool all being linked with the winger.

Having initially set their asking price at £30m, a lack of official approaches has forced the Canaries to lower their expectations and could accept between £20m and £25m for the player.

With the club’s parachute payments from the Premier League having come to an end, bosses could be forced to sell to improve cash flow.

Maddison started his career at Coventry City, before moving to Carrow Road in 2016.

Having spent loan spells back at Coventry and north of the border with Aberdeen, Maddison only made his league debut for Norwich in April 2017.

Maddison made his England U21 debut in November of last year and was named in the 2017-18 PFA Championship team of the year.

The player currently has a minor knee ligament injury but is expected to be fit in time for pre-season, whether that be at Norwich or elsewhere remains to be seen.
