Arsenal-linked Maddison will stay at Leicester for 2021-22 season, insists Rodgers

The Foxes boss has confirmed that the England international is in his plans for the new campaign amid talk of a possible switch to Emirates Stadium

Brendan Rodgers has insisted that Arsenal-linked midfielder James Maddison will stay at Leicester City for the 2021-22 season.

Arsenal are thought to be weighing up a big-money bid for Maddison as Mikel Arteta seeks to bolster his options in the middle of the park, with the 24-year-old having enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence since joining Leicester from Norwich in 2018.

The 2020-21 campaign was Maddison's best yet in terms of his overall contribution in the final third, and it has been reported that the Foxes now value a man who still has three years remaining on his contract in excess of £60 million ($84m).
