Leicester "right club for me" - Maddison
James Maddison believes Leicester was the “right club” for him.
I’m really happy to be here. I had a good chat with the manager about football and how he wants me to play, how he likes to play and I was sold.
We talked about the type of player I am, how I’m going to fit into his style of play and everything sounded really promising. I haven’t looked back since that phone call.
Leicester just seems like the right fit for me. I’ve got a good feel about the club and I can’t ignore that, in my head and my heart.
I felt like this was the right place for me to be, so I’m delighted and can’t wait to get started.
