Leicester City plan to replace Maddison with Man Utd midfielder Lingard

Leicester City are eyeing Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.

The Foxes are lining up Lingard as a potential replacement for James Maddison should the Englishman leave for Arsenal.

Lingard is seen as an ideal replacement for Foxes ace Maddison.

According to Football.london, Arsenal still remain way off Leicester’s £60million valuation of Maddison.

But with Joe Willock set to join Newcastle United for £25m, more funds could be available to try and tempt the Foxes to part ways with the 24-year-old.

And should Arsenal stump up the cash for creative midfielder Maddison, Lingard is a potential replacement.
