Arsenal's search for a creative midfielder appears to have led them to what could be one of the blockbuster moves of the summer in the form of James Maddison.
Reports earlier this week suggested the Gunners had tabled a player-plus-cash offer for the Leicester star, who is said to be valued at £60million by the East Midlands outfit.
Sportsmail revealed Mikel Arteta's interest in signing the 24-year-old last month, with Martin Odegaard returning to Real Madrid after a six-month loan at the Emirates Stadium during the second half of the previous campaign.
