But it was his overall performance on Saturday, and since joining Leicester, that has caught the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Across last season, his first campaign in England&#8217;s top division, Maddison was the only player to create 100 goalscoring chances in England&#8217;s top division, and the first English player to do so since Leighton Baines in 2012\/13.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all of this, he&#8217;s yet to earn a senior international cap having been an unused substitute in four previous England outings, but as far as Cole is concerned that needs to soon change.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chelsea Must Play Frank Lampard&#039;s Back Three w\/Rory Jennings\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SJVdL5KI2qc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to <a href=\"http:\/\/sqwk.at\/Squawka-Sub\" rel=\"noopener\">Squawka\u2019s Youtube channel here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;James Maddison might join a long list of players we might not have got the best of\u2026 like Glen [Hoddle], like Scholesy.
