Arsenal willing to include players in swap offer for Leicester ace Maddison | OneFootball

Leicester City ace James Maddison is keen to hear from Arsenal.

The Mirror says Maddison is reportedly 'open' to a move to Arsenal with the club also meeting Tammy Abraham's wage demands.

The two Premier League stars are at the top of Mikel Arteta's shortlist this summer as he looks for a creative midfielder and a striker to help rebuild the Gunners squad.

The North London club's number one priority is to sign a player in the mould of a no.10 and after permanent deals for Martin Odegaard, who returned to Real Madrid following his loan spell at Arsenal, and Emi Buendia, who joined Aston Villa, didn't materialise - Maddison has emerged as their preferred choice.

Leicester have slapped a £60million price tag on their prized asset, but their asking price has almost halved since a year ago as Maddison's form dipped following an injury-hit season.

Mikel Arteta is said to be a huge admirer of the England international and is willing to offer several fringe players as makeweights to get the deal over the line.
