What an absolute revelation James Maddison has proven to be this season.

The 21-year-old has emerged as perhaps the best play-maker in the second tier, with his performances for Norwich City sensational despite the Canaries occupying a mid-table berth.

Picked up from Coventry City in 2016, Maddison spend time with the Sky Blues and up in Scotland with Aberdeen before newly appointed boss Daniel Farke saw the potential in the youngster and installed him as a fixture in his starting eleven.

Now sure to fetch close to £20 million in today's market having been linked with a host of top Premier League sides, Maddison could arguably go down as one of the East Anglian side's greatest ever signings.

Maddison faces a huge summer ahead of him with speculation surrounding his future only set to grow when the transfer window opens for business.

Advice will be pouring in from all angles, but this trio of questions could dominate the midfielder's mind as he heads for the beach in the coming weeks...

Courted by the Premier League, Maddison has an extremely difficult decision to make this summer.

Norwich cannot turn down a bid in the region of £20 million, so the decision will ultimately fall to the player.

At Norwich he is the big fish and undoubtedly one of the stars of the division.

In the Premier League he is effectively just another number and could find himself resigned to the bench given the gulf in class between the second and top tiers of English football.

If a top-six side comes in for him he can hardly say no however and must back his ability to challenge for a starting spot at whatever side he ends up at.

Should Maddison consider a switch to a mid-table dweller or is a move to a really big club in which game time is secured feasible?

He won't turn down the advances of a club like Tottenham who have been touted as a possible destination but say a Leicester came in for him, a club that he has been linked with, then the player would have a decision to make.

Claude Puel's side could present the perfect stepping stone between the Championship and the Premier League's elite, a potentially excellent move for a player still learning his trade and yet to play at the top level.

However, he may consider a switch to a club higher up the table and head out on loan in the new year should opportunities become limited.

The Canaries showed a lot of faith in brining the player to Carrow Road, with former boss Alex Neil swooping to save the youngster from what was a dire situation at Coventry City prior to their relegation to the fourth tier.

Failing to get in under the Scotsman, German boss Farke laid his faith in the midfielder and was duly rewarded and Maddison may feel he owes his manager a debt of gratitude for handing him the opportunity to become the player he has.

If Maddison had been shipped out to Scotland or League Two again, then there is no way he would be linked with Premier League moves no matter how well he performed at those respective levels.

However, Maddison should feel no guilt in leaving, having delivered upon Farke's faith and provided his manager with the type of performances which, had they been reflected by his teammates, seen the Canaries return to the top flight.

The big check on its way to Carrow Road won't do any harm either.

Norwich fans, are you resigned to Maddison leaving?
