Leicester City legend plays down James Maddison exit talk

Posted on October 5, 2019 by Kareem

Leicester City legend Steve Walsh has played down the speculation linking James Maddison with a move away from the Foxes. The young attacker has been fancied to make the big-money move to Manchester United in the near future but Walsh is confident that the Englishman will snub the advances to remain committed to the Foxes.

Speaking to The Express, Walsh said that Maddison is content with the proceedings at the east Midlands outfit and the midfielder understands the need to play regularly in the Premier League. He added that the youngster is fairly loyal and won’t jump at the chance of pursuing a fresh challenge at the current point of time.

He said: “He’s happy where he is, that’s number one. And I think he’s grateful that Leicester gave him a chance in the Premier League because he was playing for Norwich and, OK, doing very well, but it’s a big step up. We spent some good money on him and are now developing him into a top-class player. I think he understands the grass isn’t always greener on the other side and I’m sure he’s a loyal kind of guy, he seems it.”

Maddison had an impressive debut season with the Foxes last term where he contributed seven goals and seven assists in the Premier League. He has continued the good form with a couple of assists from the opening four games and the Foxes seem set to compete for the European spots after a couple of off-seasons following the league title success.

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers brought about a positive mindset from the players during the backend of the previous campaign and the club have been able to build on the same this season. Leicester are on eight points after the opening four matches and they are just one of three clubs including Manchester City and Liverpool, who are unbeaten in the league.

My name is Kareem. This is my blog.

I am a massive fan of football (soccer) across the globe - mainly the English Premier League, and closer to home, the Indian Super League.

In England, I am a big fan of Manchester United, though they are still yet to return to the best of times that they had under Sir Alex Ferguson.

In India, I live in Kochin, Kerala, so there is really only one team I could support - the Kerala Blasters!

You may have read some of my work (I work in the sports department in a well-known newspaper), but this blog is all about my own personal interest, and writing for fun.

I hope you like my blog - get in touch with me by email - kareemskicks2020 at gmail.com
