Leicester's Maddison signs four-year deal

Leicester City midfielder James Maddison has signed a new contract to extend his stay at the King Power Stadium until at least 2024, the Premier League club said Monday.

The 23-year old playmaker has made a huge impression since joining Leicester from Norwich City in 2018, scoring 16 goals in 76 appearances across all competition.

England international Maddison was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United by the British media but he has committed his long-term future to Brendan Rodgers' Leicester, who finished fifth in the Premier League last season.

Leicester fell out of the Champions League places on the final day of the Premier League season and will be playing Europa League football in 2020-21.
