Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly monitoring Leicester City midfielder James Maddison according to ESPN.
The 26-year-old was linked with a move from Leicester City at the start of the season but was valued at around £60m by the Foxes and the player’s suitors decide not to pursue him at that point.
However, the midfielder will be out of contract in the summer of 2024 and Leicester will be under pressure to capitalize on him at the end of the season. They don’t want to lose the player on a free transfer and the summer of 2023 will be their last chance to win back any significant amount of money for him. However, the attacking midfielder is likely to cost less than the reported £60m fee at the start of the season.
Maddison has been exceptional for Leicester since joining the club and deserves to play at a higher level. A move to Tottenham could be the ideal next step in his career. He has seven goals and four assists in 13 league games this season.

The 26-year-old will add goals and creativity in the last third. Antonio Conte desperately needs someone who can unlock deep defenses and add a bit of prowess in central areas.
Furthermore, Maddison can also be an asset from set pieces. The 26-year-old is quite impressive with direct free kicks and will add a new dimension to Tottenham’s attack.
The midfielder is well established in the Premier League and could make an immediate impact at Spurs if he joins them.
