Premier League clubs battling it out for Norwich City star

Arsenal, Manchester City, and Spurs are all battling it out to sign Norwich City’s James Maddison this summer, according to the Daily Star. 

Maddison has had a superb season for the Canaries, registering 14 goals, and 8 assists in his first full season at Carrow Road. However, his services won’t come cheap as the Yellows value their star man at £30m.

His standout performances during the Championship campaign haven’t gone unnoticed by teams in the top flight, and a whole host of big clubs look set to compete for his signature.

It is reported that Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham are in pole position to land the midfielder, but Everton, Brighton, and Southampton are also keeping tabs on the England U21 international.

Norwich would, understandably, be disappointed to lose their top goalscorer and star player, but an offer in excess of £30m would surely be too hard to turn down and could convince the Canaries to let him go.

Norwich signed Maddison from Coventry City in the 2016 January transfer window for £3m but was loaned straight back to the Sky Blues. He also spent time on loan at Aberdeen last season and began to make a name for himself north of the border. Despite not featuring under Alex Neil, he has flourished under Daniel Farke this season and has been the main source of goals under the German.

His impressive form has seen him capped three times by Aidy Boothroyd for the Young Lions and is contracted to Norwich until 2021. However, with Norwich stuck in mid-table, they may have too offload Maddison, who won’t fancy another season in the second tier when he looks destined for the Premier League.
