Leicester City are reportedly intensifying contract talks with midfielder James Maddison as they look to avoid the prospect of a summer sale.
As reported by the Telegraph, Maddison - who is approaching the final 12 months of his current deal - has begun negotiations with the Foxes over a new long-term deal. It comes after Newcastle United had an offer worth up to £40million rejected in the summer transfer window.

It adds that several other Premier League sides are fans of the 26-year-old, who is said to be keen to test himself among the elite.
