Leicester City star James Maddison is reportedly on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur.
James Maddison has had a wonderful season at Leicester City, and there is no surprise to see that Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the attacking midfielder in the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old joined Leicester from Norwich City in the summer of 2018 for a transfer fee reported by The Leicester Mercury to be worth £24 million.
The attacking midfielder has scored seven goals and provided seven assists in 35 Premier League starts for the Foxes this season, according to WhoScored.
According to Opta Stats, Maddison created as many as 100 goalscoring chances for Leicester in the league this campaign – more than any other player in the Premier League.
Given the Englishman’s creative talent and the way he has taken to the Premier League, there is no surprise that Spurs are reported to want the 22-year-old.
According to The Times, Tottenham are looking at Maddison as a potential replacement for Christian Eriksen this summer.
Leaving Leicester for Tottenham will be a step-up for the youngster, but former Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas does not think that he will play regularly at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Jenas said on BBC Radio 5 live (May 10, 2019): “Ben Chilwell will start week in, week out, not sure Maddison will start week in, week out at Tottenham.”
