Eddie Howe admits he is a big admirer of Leicester star James Maddison

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has spoken for the first time about James Maddison, a player the Tyneside club are keen to sign.

Newcastle have been strongly linked with the England international, even turning down an offer in the summer for him.

Howe admits he’s a big fan of the 25-year-old when asked about transfer links.

“Total respect for him and his abilities. I have seen him grow from a Football League player to a Premier League player.

“I think it’s been brilliant and a great announcement for the Premier League.

“It is a Leicester City and I fully respect it. I would never talk about another contract player coming here. He is a player I respect.” Howe said.
