Analysis: Maddison among the elite
We' Nick Wright:Despite Leicester's relegation, Maddison's reputation remains untarnished. In a challenging season for the club, he impressively achieved 10 goals and nine assists solely in Premier League matches. This performance further solidifies his exceptional track record at the King Power Stadium, where he has consistently proven himself as one of the top attacking midfielders in the Premier League over the span of five seasons.

Maddison is one of the top performers in the Premier League. His exceptional standing among the best players is backed by solid statistics. Since joining Leicester from Norwich in 2018, he has consistently been among the top creators, with only Kevin De Bruyne and Trent Alexander-Arnold surpassing him in chances created. Additionally, he has been an offensive powerhouse, ranking among the top three in shots on goal alongside Mohamed Salah, Harry Kane, and Heung Min-Son.
Maddison also ranks in the top eight for assists and big chances created. With 43 goals in that period, only 18 players have scored more.
The numbers add up to show why he was in such high demand.
