Maddison, 21, has fired 15 goals for his Championship club this season.

The playmaker has been a revelation this season and that follows on from a strong six-month spell in the last campaign at Aberdeen.

His most famous moment for the Pittodrie was scoring the winner in the 2-1 win against Rangers with an incredible free-kick.

Maddison was named Norwich’s Player of the Year and was also included in the Championship team of the Year.

The 21-year-old was strongly linked with both Tottenham and Liverpool during the January transfer window and Mirror Sport report he could leave Carrow Road in the close season.

Norwich have to look carefully at their purse strings this summer as parachute payments run out.

So, too, could in-form winger Josh Murphy, 23, who has fired 11 goals this season.

Murphy has several Premier League teams on his radar including Swansea City, Leicester City and Crystal Palace.

He is also open to a move to the top flight, just like his twin brother Jacob, who joined Newcastle last summer for £12m.

But the Canaries, who will finish the Championship in mid-table, look as though they will tie Alex Tettey down to a new deal.

Norwich are getting ready to announce a new two-year deal for influential holding midfielder.

Former Norway international Tettey, 32, had been due to become a free agent this summer after snubbing City’s initial offers.
