James Maddison has been one of the stars of the season forLeicester.
The player scored two and set up another in Monday's win over Forest, helping the team move off the bottom of the table.
Since the beginning of last season, Harry Kane has had more goal involvements than any other Englishman.
With just seven weeks to go until the start of the World Cup, is Maddison trying to get a place in the England squad?
Maddison told Sky Sports that he wanted that. I know I would make an impact at that level, and that's why I want an opportunity there.
Maddison made his England debut as a substitute against Montenegro.
Maddison was pictured in a casino a month before he pulled out of the England squad for a Euro 2020 qualification match.
Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Mason Mount have established themselves in the Three Lions squad since then.
Maddison's form gives something to think about.
| Player | Games | Goals | Assists | Goals & assists |
| Harry Kane | 45 | 24 | 10 | 34 |
| James Maddison | 42 | 17 | 10 | 27 |
| Ivan Toney | 41 | 17 | 7 | 24 |
| Bukayo Saka | 46 | 12 | 11 | 23 |
| Jarrod Bowen | 44 | 13 | 10 | 23 |
| Raheem Sterling | 37 | 16 | 6 | 22 |
| Mason Mount | 39 | 11 | 10 | 21 |
| Phil Foden | 36 | 14 | 7 | 21 |
He has 17 goals and 10 assists in 42 appearances, more than Foden, Grealish and Mount.
His 14 goal involvements in his last 11 appearances in the premier league is bettered only by Erling Haaland.
It's remarkable that it's come in a team that has struggled for results so far this season.
Maddison said that he has been as confident as he has ever been despite the fact that they have been the worst team in the league. Over the last year, I don't remember if I played better or felt better.
I know there are top players in the forward areas but I have a self-belief that I am a top player.
The players at the top clubs force my way in. I think there is a place for me.
Brendan Rodgers supports Maddison's World Cup ambitions despite the intense competition.
Rodgers hopes there is a place for that player in the squad. Someone who is talented, hard working and a team player is that person.
Phil Foden is a genius. Mason Mount is something I enjoy. Jack Grealish is a different type, but he can make a difference in a game.
If he wasn't starting a game, to have that on the bench to come into a tight World Cup game is what England needs.
Jamie Carragher believes that Maddison should be in the squad based on his current form.
He needs to be in the squad where you can pick from 26. He shows his personality and is honest in his interviews. I would like to see more players like that.
If you need a goal in a knockout or need something from a set-piece, you want someone who can change the game. The man is in top shape.
I don't know anyone who has picked players who have been on top of their game. James Maddison is in tip top shape.
James should be on the plane.
Agada wondered if James Maddison would be neglected by the England team.
Scott wishes England had a creativeMidfielder.
James Maddison is always so elegant in his interviews. An inspiration to the younger generation is a model professional. The way he talks about the game would be an asset to the England team.
Maddison needs to be on that plane to get there. There is no question about it. He looked great on that pitch. The England team would benefit from his creativity.
Maddison is making food this season. Has to be in the England team.
Maddison to England is the only other place they have. A competent manager would use him in a variety of ways.
Rob said that he doesn't just go for me, he starts.
