Championship Norwich City will demand a fee of £25m for highly rated midfielder James Maddison, ​the Mirror have reported.

The 21-year-old has attracted interest from Premier League clubs ​Tottenham and ​Chelsea having excelled in the ​Championship this season.

Norwich are expecting to receive a number of bids in the summer, with ​Everton and ​Manchester City also linked with the youngster.

The Canaries are determined to get as high a fee as possible for Maddison, who has emerged as one of the brightest talents outside the top flight this campaign.

The England Under-21 international has scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in the Championship this season.

Maddison last month claimed that interest from the ​Premier League is flattering.

"That's the level that everyone aspires to get to," he told ​BBC Sport. "Every young player will tell you his dream is to play in the Premier League and for me it's no different, but I've just got to take a step back.

"It's my first season [with ​Norwich] and I'd say I've had a good season - it could've been better but I've played a lot of games and showed everyone what I can do and what I'm about.

"I'm keeping my own feet on the ground and hopefully I'll get to where I need to be whenever I'm supposed to.

"Norwich is a great club for me at the minute. I love it here, I love living here, I love the fans and the fans have taken to me.

"You do see people maybe take that step too early, so I didn't move anywhere in January, but I'm happy here. I'm playing games and I'm loving my football at the minute."
