Maddison leads the list of Leicester's big-name players who will surely be targeted by top-flight clubs in the upcoming transfer window.

The season ended in heartbreak for Maddison and his teammates, with Leicester dropping into the Championship just two years after lifting the FA Cup and seven years on from their remarkable Premier League title-winning campaign. Once again, the attacking midfielder racked up strong numbers for Leicester, but it was not enough.

But Maddison is now the name on the lips of plenty of United supporters, with his Premier League talent proven over the course of the last five seasons. The 26-year-old has hit double figures for goals in the last two campaigns, while playing over 30 games in all five years with Leicester.
