The transfer market is in full swing and one of the most popular names in recent days is that of James Madison. The English midfielder, currently at Leicester City, has become the object of desire for several Premier League clubs. While Maddison has been reported to be in talks with Newcastle United, a new competitor is now emerging: the astonville.
According to a report in the Birmingham Mail, Aston Villa have shown interest in signing James Maddison. Italian journalist Rudy Galetti published a tweet stating that the Birmingham club has joined the list of suitors for the talented midfielder.
Aston Villa enters the race for James Maddison
Although Newcastle have been chasing Maddison for some time and are in talks with the 26-year-old, this has not deterred Aston Villa or Tottenham, who also maintain an interest in the footballer.
Aston Villa, who managed to beat Tottenham in the European qualification on the last day of the season, is looking to take advantage of the situation and overtake Spurs in the race to sign Maddison. However, Newcastle are still considered favorites to sign the England international as they have held talks with him after a lengthy chase.
Newcastle’s new manager, Eddie Howe, has made it clear that Maddison is one of his top priorities and has made several attempts to sign him in the past. Now, in this transfer market, he is determined to achieve his goal and bring the talented player to St. James’ Park.
The competition for James Maddison promises to be intense in the coming weeks. Aston Villa have joined the list of suitors, but Newcastle seem to be one step ahead in the negotiations. We will have to wait and see what will be the final destination of the English midfielder and which team will get his services.
