James Maddison is poised to give Leicester a post-season boost by finalising a new contract worth £100,000-a-week at the King Power Stadium.
The midfielder’s five-year deal is expected to double his salary and is rewarded for two impressive seasons with the Foxes, in which he has scored 13 goals and had 10 assists in the Premier League.
Maddison’s new terms would take him closer to Leicester’s top earners and ensures the club will hang on to one of their top assets during the transfer window.
Manchester United have a long-term interest in Maddison and would have been able to offer Champions League football.
