Losing out

Maddison is a very talented and promising young attacking player, and he would be a good addition to the current Tottenham team.

However, it seems that Leicester are confident of securing the services of the 21-year-old, and that should spark Spurs into action.

Although £17m sounds a lot of money for a 21-year-old Championship player, he could prove to be a very good long-term signing.
