James Maddison: Brendan Rodgers 'won't beg' Leicester midfielder to stay

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers says he "won't beg a player to stay" as James Maddison's new contract talks continue.

Rodgers said there has been no development in current discussions, but stressed Maddison remains fully focused on doing his best for the club.

"It's a conversation we've been having with James' representatives for a while so there's no change in that," he said.

"For me, it's about making sure that, despite whatever the situation is, that James is playing at the best level he can be.

"Thankfully as a player he's got experience now, he's very focused on purely doing his best for us and staying available and fit.
