Maddison and his Leicester teammates were relegated from the Premier League last season, during which the midfielder registered 10 goals and nine assists from 30 league appearances.
He was a member of England‘s World Cup squad last year but arrived in Qatar carrying a knee problem and did not feature at the tournament. He has since expressed a desire to remain playing top-flight football with Euro 2024 coming up next summer.
Maddison joined Leicester in 2018. He previously enjoyed spells at Coventry City, Norwich City and Aberdeen.
