Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers plays down suggestions that James Maddison could move to Arsenal this summer.

Brendan Rodgers has insisted that James Maddison remains "very happy" at Leicester City, despite speculation regarding a potential switch to Arsenal.

Maddison, who the Gunners allegedly value in the region of £60m, is said to be open to a transfer to the Emirates Stadium this summer.

However, at a time when the two clubs are likely to be some way apart regarding a potential fee, Rodgers has played down talk of the Foxes losing their chief playmaker.

Speaking to reporters, Rodgers said: "I know he is very happy here and he wants to be here. If anything comes to the club, Jon Rudkin (director of football) would tell me straightaway and I would deal with it then, but there has been nothing that's come my way.

"I've not been told anything to say [he won't stay]. He is happy in training and he is working hard, and he is a talented, important member of the squad. He had his season disrupted by injury last year but hopefully this season he can show what a real top player he is."

Arsenal have reportedly already failed with a proposal which included at least one fringe member of Mikel Arteta's squad. body check tags ::
