Brendan Rodgers braced for January bids for Leicester star James Maddison and claims it is 'only natural' the midfielder's outstanding form would attract interest

Brendan Rodgers accepts James Maddison's outstanding form will lead to the Leicester star attracting more bids in the January transfer window.

The Foxes turned down two offers from Newcastle in the summer for Maddison, who has begun the campaign in superb fashion despite Leicester's struggles. The 25-year-old has five goals and two assists in his opening seven league games and has been one of the top performers in the country.

Rodgers believes Maddison deserves the chance to add to his single England cap, with the World Cup just around the corner.
