Fulham could sneak in to snare the Norwich City midfielder ahead of several top clubs.
Fulham have joined the race to sign Norwich City midfielder James Maddison, according to the Daily Mirror (liveblog entry 12:04).
Maddison scored 14 goals and set up eight in his breakthrough season at Norwich, who it is claimed are set to cash in after coming to the end of their Premier League parachute payments.
The England Under-21 international is said to have attracted interest from top four clubs Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, however they have yet to firm up their interest, according to the Daily Mirror.
And the report adds that a door has now opened for ‘lesser top-flight outfits like Fulham and Southampton’ to seize on Maddison, who is likely leave Norwich for a fee ranging from £20million-£25million.
Landing Maddison would leave Fulham in excellent shape, not only to survive their first season back in the Premier League, but establish themselves in the top-flight in future.
Fulham’s squad already contains the teenage sensation Ryan Sessegnon, and talented twenty-somethings Tom Cairney and Marcus Bettinelli.
