Arsenal have reportedly switched all their focus towards signing James Maddison this summer and the midfielder is reportedly keen on a move to the Emirates. The Gunners have already been active in the transfer window in bringing in Nuno Tavares and Albert Sambi Lokonga with Ben White also set to join for £50million.
Transfer insider Peter O'Rourke states the Gunners are looking to potentially include at least one player in the deal to help alleviate some of the cost.
The 24-year-old only signed a new contract at Leicester last summer, but there is reportedly some encouragement that Arsenal may be able to strike a deal with the Foxes.
"They're getting encouraging signs that something could be done with James Maddison," O'Rourke said on The Football Terrace.
"It seems Arsenal are ready to offer a couple of fringe players as well as a substantial fee."
