According to reports, Liverpool are front-runners to secure a summer swoop for Norwich City’s breakout star James Maddison.

What's the story?

Norwich City playmaker James Maddison has told a source close to Anfield Edition that he “expects” to move to Anfield this summer.

The 21 year-old is close friends with Trent Alexander-Arnold, and has drawn interest from plenty of Premier League clubs.

The report also claims Liverpool are entering crunch talks to secure the signing of Fulham wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon.

Smart move to Merseyside?

Before the arrival of Andy Robertson, Liverpool fans would probably turn their noses up at relatively cheap signings from Championship clubs, but the success of the Scottish full back has earned Jürgen Klopp some transfer leeway.

Fans now trust that the German manager will work his magic with whatever young star he sets his plans on, so why not Maddison?

Maddison has impressed with the England Under-21 side this season, but has been quite simply remarkable for his club.

Playing mostly as an attacking midfielder, the 21 year-old has registered an incredible 14 goals and eight assists in a struggling Norwich side.

One has to think his arrival would mean the end of Adam Lallana’s Liverpool career, which would be a serious upgrade for the Reds.

Maddison is faster and fitter than Lallana, and has already proven he has better end product in his brief career so far.
