The Leicester City midfielder is again a reported Tottenham Hotspur target.

Leicester City fans are reacting to reports linking James Maddison with a summer move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham are said to be eyeing potential replacements for Christian Eriksen, whose contract expires at the end of next season [Daily Mirror].

And it is claimed the Londoners are looking to add more British players to their squad, which has alerted them to Maddison.

The attacking midfielder has scored or assisted nine goals in 25 games for Leicester this season, having signed from Norwich City in a deal reportedly worth £24 million last summer.

And his valuation is said to have more than doubled since then – while it is also claimed that a pay rise could be in the offing from the Midlands side.

But would that sort of money be enough to tempt Leicester into selling – and could Tottenham even afford it?

This is what those of a Foxes persuasion are saying in response to the speculation…

Tottenham were previously credited with interest during his time at both Coventry City and Norwich [Evening Standard].

The 22-year-old earned his first call-up to England’s senior squad earlier this season.

Could Maddison leave Leicester for Tottenham?
