As reported by The Telegraph, Arsenal are one of the teams interested in signing Norwich City's star midfielder James Maddison this summer.

What's the story?

Arsenal are on the hunt for new talent after another disappointing season in the English Premier League and while recruitment from abroad is likely to be key to their summer window, it's also important to secure the future of homegrown talents too.

One such Englishman that could join the ranks at the Emirates is James Maddison.

That's according to The Telegraph who say Arsenal join the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in pursuit of his signature.

With Norwich not keen to sell though, the paper reckon it could cost as much as £25m to land the U21 international.

Is he good enough?

There's quite a step up from the Championship to the Premier League, never mind moving to that next level at one of the division's top six sides, so wherever Maddison ends up, he'll have plenty of learning to do.

The Telegraph reckon he wants to join a club where he's likely to get regular first team action, which could be tough for him at Arsenal given the attacking midfield talent already available to them.

However, his stunning season in the Championship at the age of just 21 means he's worth pursuing for clubs like Arsenal. With 15 goals and 11 assists this term, he's been a stand-out not just for Norwich but the entire division and clearly has many years ahead of him to improve further.

If Arsenal don't move for him they could end up regretting it if he lands at Spurs or Man City.
