He was also number 7 in the Guardian's 10 talking points

7) Maddison looks a star in the making
James Maddison’s first season at Leicester is already going better than his first season at Norwich. After his move to Carrow Road from Coventry in 2016, great things were expected, but he made only three appearances for the Canaries and ended up on loan to Aberdeen. Attitude issues were a concern but the following summer he knuckled down, and last season became the best No 10 in the Championship. He already looks at home in the Premier League, that early arrogance tempered by something closer to healthy confidence, which he showed against Liverpool. Not everything he tried worked but the key was that he kept trying. The best players have an ability to forget previous mistakes, so their heads are clear for the next time. Maddison might not be among the best just yet but he does appear to have that quality. Leicester have a gem. Nick Miller

James Maddison
Tottenham spent all summer trying and failing to sign Jack Grealish for £40m, but they could have had Maddison for £25m. The Norwich attacker chose to take the halfway step to the top at Leicester, but it could prove a masterstroke. With Riyad Mahrez gone there is room for a dribbling creator with the confidence to take players on. Watching him earn the Man of the Match award even in defeat against Liverpool, it’s hard to believe that he’s still just 21. Your next England squad, Gareth.
