Arsenal target James Maddison has been praised by England stars Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice for his performance in the Three Lions’ victory over Ukraine on Sunday (26 March). Maddison, a star player for Leicester City, made his England debut on Sunday against Ukraine in the second European Championship qualifier.
At Wembley Stadium, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka scored to propel Gareth Southgate’s team to a straightforward 2-0 victory. Even though Maddison didn’t score against Ukraine, he created five chances, played eight passes into the final third of the field, and dribbled twice.
He posted the following caption to seven images from the match against Ukraine on Instagram following the game: Bellingham and Rice, who have become regulars under Southgate, were impressed by Maddison’s performance. “I love football.” The first responded: “Some player Sheriff🔥🔥🔥”
West Ham Joined’s Rice added: In 20 Premier League games this season, “so so good” Maddison has scored nine goals and contributed six assists. His contract will end in June 2024. The England international does not intend to renew his contract, as reported by Teamtalk, suggesting that he may be available for purchase this summer.
The player has attracted the attention of numerous elite teams, including Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United. The Magpies are expected to sign Maddison this summer, according to the previously mentioned source. In the summer of 2021, Arsenal was heavily in the running for Maddison.
However, Martin Odegaard, who arrived at Arsenal from Real Madrid for €35 million, was ultimately chosen by the Gunners.
