#4 James Maddison (Leicester City)

Leicester City v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League

Leicester City are playing some beautiful football at the moment and the man who has been at the heart of it is the supremely talented 22-year-old midfielder, James Maddison. With one goal and 2 assists in the season so far, the young Englishman has been the creative heartbeat for Brendan Rodgers' side.

Blessed with good dribbling ability and the vision to pick out the killer pass, Maddison has been linked with moves to clubs such as Manchester United in the last few weeks. Capable of playing in the centre of the pitch and cutting inside from the left, the talented youngster has kicked on after some good performances for The Foxes last season.

With Leicester City currently 3rd in the Premier League standings, Brendan Rodgers will be hoping that the creative midfielder continues his good performances and unlocks opposition defences with his guile and vision.
