The 21-year-old scored 15 goals and made eight assists in 49 games for Norwich in all competitions last season.

"Leicester just seems like the right fit for me," Maddison told the club website.

"I've got a good feel about the club and I can't ignore that, in my head and my heart. I felt like this was the right place for me to be, so I'm delighted and can't wait to get started."

He arrives at the King Power Stadium as manager Claude Puel's third close season signing after Portuguese full-back Ricardo Pereira and Northern Ireland international defender Jonny Evans.
