Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has said that it is no surprise to watch big clubs interested in James Maddison.
“When they’re top talents, they’ll always create attention around them, but he’s very happy here,” said Rodgers. “It’s his first season in the Premier League. He’s been on a great journey as a young player, he’s now arrived at a fantastic club where the way we work and the style in which we play will suit his game and his qualities. He will want to gain more experience in this league. He’s a fantastic talent, he works very, very hard at his game, has a very good idea of football, but works very, very hard. He’s been a joy to work with since I’ve come and there are still a lot of improvements he will make.”
He also said that Leicester are hopeful of permanently signing Tielemans. “We’re hopeful,” Rodgers told Sky Sports News. “He’s come here to play games, he wasn’t playing so much at Monaco. He’s a big talent, understands the game very, very well, got a good view of the game for a young player, and obviously most players love to play in the Premier League. The idea is to keep working well with him, I’m sure there will be a conversation between the two clubs, but of course he’s a player we would like to keep.”
