Tottenham Hotspur: James Maddison is one of England’s star players who did not receive a call-up from England to the Nations League.
The midfielder was heavily linked with a move away from Leicester City in the summer. But the club decided not to sell it.
Recent reports in England claim that the star may receive a huge offer from Newcastle United. Leicester turned down the Magpies’ summer offers.
But according to rumours, Tottenham Hotspur are working hard to land the Leicester midfielder a deal as they are keen to add creativity to their midfield section.
Tottenham Hotspur: Newcastle’s two summer deals
Leicester received two big offers from Newcastle in the summer worth £40m and then £45m. But coach Brandon Rodgers wasn’t ready to let go of another star player on his roster following the sale of Wesley Fofana. As Rodgers said of the Maddison sale, the price “could cover three-quarters of his left leg.”
But Newcastle hasn’t stopped yet. According to the Times, the Magpies will return for Maddison if the Foxes lower their asking price in the January window. Under the contract, the 25-year-old will only have 18 months left on his contract in the winter window.
Link to Tottenham
Recent rumors suggest that Tottenham are very interested in bringing in the midfielder. According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, “Tottenham are longtime fans of Maddison and have liked him for a while now.” James Maddison’s link to the Spurs was also confirmed by Football. London.
After selling Eriksen to Inter in 2020, Daniel Levy struggled to replace the Danish midfielder. Lo Celso arrived as his replacement, but Premier League football does not suit him.
On the British midfielder’s link with Spurs, Barclay spoke: “With Conte, he loves experienced players who can take his team to the next level and Maddison is the kind of player they lack. That bit of creativity.”
While speaking on TalkSPORT, former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan endorsed Maddison to play for one of the top six clubs in the league. He said that both Tottenham and Arsenal should bet on the player.
He said: “He’s a good player on a bad side in terms of the way Leicester are playing at the moment… I think James Maddison has all the talent to step up and get into a big six club and Act”. at that level.”
Both Tillemans and Maddison have attracted the interest of many English clubs. Leicester are struggling in the league as they are at the bottom of the league table. Although Leicester is struggling, Maddison has three goals and one assist this season.
He also recorded 12 strikes and eight assists for his team and helped the Foxes finish eighth in the league table last season. Antonio Conte will love adding a player of such caliber.
