Emile Heskey says Leicester City are no longer a feeder club.
Heskey believes the club's growth will allow them to fend off interest from Manchester United for James Maddison.
"I think Leicester are moving away from being a feeder club," Heskey told bwin.
"They've lost a few big names over the last couple of seasons, but there is no need for Leicester to sell anyone else. The team is developing so strongly and it doesn't deserve to be called a feeder club.
"Leicester are under no pressure to sell Maddison and I expect they'll fight off any interest."
