According to transfer news from Leicestershire Live, Chelsea are all set to battle Arsenal for the signing of James Maddison. The Leicester City ace is seen as a possible replacement for Hakim Ziyech who could be heading towards AC Milan.
Maddison arrived from Norwich in a £22.5million deal. Since then, he has been one of the more standout players in the English top-flight. A playmaker extraordinaire, Maddison can also chip in with the goals when needed.
The 24-year-old has accumulated an impressive tally of 27 goals and 20 assists in 118 appearances for Leicester across all competitions. Maddison had another decent season where he notched up double figures in terms of goals and assists, while also winning the FA Cup.
Chelsea’s interest in the Leicester playmaker is surprising indeed when they boast of a plethora of attacking talent. However, with the likes of Ziyech struggling badly in Tuchel’s new setup, it could see him depart for AC Milan. Nonetheless, Chelsea are all set to battle their rivals Arsenal for the signing of the gifted midfielder valued at £60million.
However, one cannot deny that Maddison can be a good addition to the side. With Tuchel deploying two attacking midfielders behind the striker, Maddison can flourish there. He would add depth and quality to the midfield instantly upon his arrival and of course, his best years are still in front of him.
