Rodgers: "Interest in Maddison is no surprise"

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed that interest in his highly-rated midfielder James Maddison is "no surprise" to him.

Maddison joined the Foxes from Championship side Norwich City in the summer for £22m and he has impressed since his move.

His seven goals and six assists for Leicester this season has attracted plenty of interest in the midfielder.

But, Rodgers has assured his team's fans that Maddison is happy at Leicester, and he believes he'll stick around for a little longer, at least.

"When they're top talents, they'll always create attention around them, but he's very happy here. It's his first season in the Premier League," Rodgers said.

"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 since I've come and there are still a lot of improvements he will make."
