Ian Wright believes Leicester City midfielder James Maddison was hoping to join Newcastle during the summer transfer window.
Leicester have had a difficult start to the Premier League season after losing Wesley Fofana late in the window, and failing to reinvest a large portion of the money.
Maddison was linked with a move away from the club, and former Arsenal striker Wright believes he was hoping to join Newcastle.
“You look at [Youri] Tielemans, linked and probably wants to leave. Maddison, he wanted to leave – Newcastle,” said Wright, speaking on the Kelly and Wrighty show.
