England international, James Maddison was reported to have attracted interest from Newcastle in the summer.
And now Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has said Maddison will “Absolutely” still be at the club after the forthcoming January transfer window.
Leicester sold Wesley Fofana to Chelsea in the summer but Rodgers says Maddison is going nowhere.
“Asked whether he had assurances Maddison would not be sold, Rodgers said:”Yes, absolutely.
“He’s someone I want to keep here. He’s a top player. But I’ve been given no indication that we have to do anything with James in January.”
Newcastle, who are in the race for the top four this season, are likely to try and strengthen in January, but Rodgers does not know whether they will come for Maddison.
“Newcastle have signed players who have improved the dynamic of the team.”
“I’m sure they’ll strengthen their squad, and they’ll have the motivation to stay there.”
