Quotes from James Maddison

Every footballer wants to play in big games, in front of full houses, live on the telly.

The No.10 position is my favourite role.

I've always wanted to be a winner, the best player, the one that everyone is talking about. I'm greedy in that sense.

I'm learning and constantly getting better.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Aberdeen.

I still pinch myself when I see myself on 'Match of the Day' - it's at times like that you realise how far you've come.

Set pieces are something I work hard at after training, and I hit quite a lot every day.

I am a player who likes to play in between the lines and try to break that midfield line, whether it's when I receive a pass or can go and show everyone what I am about.

I feel like I'm quite harsh on myself.

I can only speak highly of my time at Norwich. It was brilliant for me. I loved it there, and I think the fans loved me as well. We had a great relationship.

If, just because it's the Premier League, I started trying to play the simple pass instead of trying the harder pass, that is not the type of person I am, to be honest.

Representing your country at any level is amazing.

It was tough to go to Norwich and not play after doing well at Coventry.

The Premier League is the toughest league in the world, so it's never going to be easy to get minutes.

Being booked for simulation is never good.

I got to play first-team men's football from a young age.

I started lower down the leagues with Coventry, so I'd had that taste of first-team action at a young age. I'd already played 40 or 50 games before moving on, and when I got to Norwich, I had to bide my time at the start.

Dele Alli is probably the perfect example. He played loads of games for MK Dons at a young age. He got a move and kicked on from there because he had that experience behind him.

I started in League One and went up into the Championship and then into the Premier League, so I've played a lot of games from quite a young age.

It definitely toughens you up. It makes you mature from a young age, living away from home.

I'm always a player who has taken fairly rough treatment, to be honest. I think my time in Scotland typified that because I think there was one game where I set a record for being fouled ten or 11 times in a game.

I love being on Sky Sports, the big hype around the games and stuff like that.

One of my biggest attributes, if you speak to my coaches from when I was a young lad, is that I've always believed in my own ability and been a confident young man.

There are quite a lot of young players around now with undoubted talent who get stuck in academies at big clubs.
