According to a recent report by the Daily Mirror, Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a move to secure the services of Leicester City player James Maddison during the summer transfer period. The same source has revealed that Spurs are ready to capitalise on the extra funds they will receive for their remarkable Champions League run to the final this season and are prepared to splash some of the money on the Coventry-born midfielder this summer.
Maddison’s Impressive Debut Season At Leicester
The 22-year-old has experienced a brilliant Premier League season after putting a string of majestic displays for the Foxes during the recently concluded English top-flight season. The Leicester midfielder has featured in 38 matches for the West Midlands outfit this term, registering seven goals while creating seven assists in multiple competitions.
However, the former Coventry City player is yet to make his international debut for Gareth Southgate’s England national side but could still play a significant role for his nation in the coming years.
There is no doubt that Maddison is a player with massive potential who could become a world-class midfielder in the future so Spurs will do well to prise him away from the King Power Stadium in this offseason.
What Will The English Playmaker Add To Pochettino’s Team?
Maddison is quick when running with the ball and can be a force to be reckoned with in the opposition half. However, what makes him such an exceptional talent is his ability to create plays for his teammates in the attacking third of the pitch. Furthermore, he is also a potent goal-threat from long range as he can strike the ball with power and precision.
Maddison’s Acquisition: Wise Move For Tottenham?
The addition of a player of Maddison’s creative skills will undoubtedly improve Mauricio Pochettino’s midfield options at the new White Hart Lane. He will not only add more quality to Tottenham’s first-team but will also bolster their overall squad depth.
At 22, the English prospect still has his best years ahead of him which the North London outfit could look to capitalise on over the next few years. Thus, it will be a shrewd move for Pochettino to bring him to the English capital ahead of the new season.
