Tottenham in pole position for £70m England player who is eyeing to be main man at club
It’s been reported that Tottenham is the leading candidate to sign James Maddison from Leicester City, although they have to contend with competition from Newcastle and Manchester City.
Tottenham requires midfielders for the upcoming season due to Rodrigo Bentancur’s absence until November, and Maddison would be an excellent addition to Antonio Conte’s squad, providing a creative spark.
Football Insider suggests that Maddison is expected to depart Leicester in the summer and desires to play a prominent role at his new club to retain his place in the England National Team.
Leicester City’s James Maddison is likely to be available for around £60m-£70m as his current contract expires in 2024, and this presents an opportunity for Leicester to profit from the sale of their midfield maestro.
Maddison has been in excellent form this season, attracting interest from several clubs, including Tottenham, Manchester City, and Newcastle, all vying for the talented England international’s signature.
Maddison may prioritize playing in the Champions League, which Tottenham could offer if they maintain their position in the top four. However, if Newcastle manages to qualify for the competition, it could make them a more attractive option for Maddison.
