Leicester to step up chase for Maddison after completing Evans deal

Leicester are set to make an offer for Norwich’s James Maddison after they complete a deal for West Brom’s Jonny Evans, according to the Mirror.

Leicester are on the hunt for an attacking midfielder with Ryhad Mahrez set to move to Manchester City.

Maddison and Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish are both being considered by the Foxes. However, with both clubs seeking high fees for their prized assets, Leicester will have to pay up if they want to sign one of England’s top prospects.

Evans is in talks with the Foxes after learning that Manchester City were no longer interested in purchasing him.

The Northern Irishman is now set for a medical at the King Power Stadium, meaning that Leicester will then step up their chase for a new midfielder afterwards.

Maddison has been linked with moves away from Norfolk, with top Premier League sides such as Spurs, Liverpool and Leicester all taking a look at the former Coventry midfielder.
