James Madddison claps the fans

Tottenham are close to completing a £40m deal for Leicester midfielder James Maddison.

Maddison, 26, who has won three caps for England, helped the Foxes win the FA Cup in 2021.

He has made 203 appearances in all competitions for Leicester since joining them in 2018 from Norwich for a fee of around £20m.

Maddison scored 10 Premier League goals last term but was unable to prevent the club from slipping to relegation.

About the right place and price, imo.

Will Kane and Maddison synchronise their diving?

He should go to Newcastle if they want him. Far more likely to win something in the next couple of years than Spurs, and where Levy will want to believe that only a tinker away from challenging for everything (instead of the reality that he needs to dump/change at least half the squad), could yet lose Kane.

He will not want to stay at Leicester. Easy choice this

Was a big deal 3 or 4 years ago, but he’s dropped off since then. Worth £40 mil? Nahhh

Every signing should add to the first team pick and this is a missing piece of the Spurs jigsaw since Erickson left. Excellent signing if it happens.

Big Ange knows a player when he sees one 💚 Kyogo, Jota, Diazen, Abada very good examples. If he has gone for Maddison then he must have exceptional promise.

He will need to score 20+ goals if Spurs sell Harry.

Nice sell on clause for Norwich

Surely he is good enough to join a big 6 club instead ?

Fair point , Spurs couldn’t win anything with Kane when he goes they chances are even slimmer, but on a positive note they do have a magnificent stadium.

Gutted for Newcastle but I understand the personal circumstances for Mads. Trouble with Spurs is there’s no CL or prospect of winning a trophy for some time. I’m not saying Newcastle will win something in the next 2 years but they seem more likely than spurs.

Couldn’t Newcastle have outbid them? I thought the fee would be closer to £60m, admittedly quite add on related.

For 40m, a decent signing.

Nice to have him back in the Premier league. Seems like a snip at £40m and should provide some much needed creativity for the strikers.

Finally, a worthy Erikson replacement.

Surely there has to be better options for him than Spurs. Is he really likely to win anything there based off of history, I doubt it!

Survival mentality. Relegated and a footballers lifestyle to sustain? No guarantee of coming straight back up from Championship which makes him significantly less attractive a proposition in 12 months time, so you go where there’s an offer on the table?
