One of the best players for Tottenham Hotspur this season has been James Maddison, and Richard Keys has raved about him.

Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has been hugely impressed by how well James Maddison has done for Tottenham Hotspur in the opening weeks of the season.

Maddison moved to Tottenham from Leicester City in the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old England international attacking midfielder has scored two goals and given five assists in eight Premier League matches for Spurs so far this campaign.

Tottenham are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 20 points from eight games.

Spurs are level on points with North London rivals Arsenal, who are second.

Richard Keys praises Tottenham Hotspur playmaker James Maddison

BeIN Sport presenter Richard Keys has been hugely impressed by Maddison, who is on £170,000 (Spotrac) per week at Spurs.

Keys wrote on his blog: “Spurs are getting our attention as well aren’t they? The win at Luton – with 10 men – was first class. 

“And I’m really pleased to see their ‘Cov kid’ James Maddison in such good form.

“He’s no Glenn Hoddle, but he’s doing that No10 shirt proud. What a good signing he’s proving to be.”

My View: James Maddison a brilliant signing for Tottenham

In my opinion, James Maddison has been a brilliant signing for Tottenham Hotspur.

The playmaker has hit the ground running at Spurs.

Just as I expected him to.

Maddison was superb during his time at Leicester City.

And at Spurs, he has taken his game to another level.

Maddison has made 171 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The attacking midfielder has scored 45 goals and given 37 assists in those games.
