One of the names that remained in the air when the descent of the Leicester City was the one of James Maddison. The English midfielder has been tempted by several clubs for a long time to leave the King Power Stadium, and with the fall of the ‘Foxes‘ to the Championship was the propitious moment for Maddison to take the next step in his sports career.
The main stakeholders included Newcastle United, Arsenal and Tottenham, with the latter doing their best to keep their services. For the ‘Magpies‘ and the ‘Gunners‘, Maddison was a plan B if his main objective failed, like Kai Havertz in the case of the Londoners, or Sandro Tonali for those of St James’ Park. In this context, Tottenham went to the bottom and presented an offer of 40 million euros that was accepted by the Leicester City.
Thus, Maddison becomes the third signing made by the ‘Spurs‘ since the arrival of Ange Postecoglou as the new coach, already adding Guglielmo Vicario, Italian goalkeeper who arrives from Empoli, and Dejan Kulusevski, who left a good impression during his loan and they decided to sign him.
Maddison’s Numbers
The 26-year-old midfielder arrived at the Leicester City coming from Norwich City, in exchange for 25 million euros, in 2018. Since then, he has played a total of 203 games, scoring 55 goals and providing 41 assists, with two titles to his credit, such as the 2021 FA Cup and the Community Shield, in which the ‘Foxes‘ They defeated none other than Manchester City.
Now, Maddison is facing a great opportunity to take a step forward in his career, leading a team that needs to be the protagonist and give incentives to its top star, Harry Kane, to stay past the expiration of his contract, which expires at the end of next season.
