Cristian Stellini has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur like James Maddison
Speaking to Football. London, Tottenham assistant manager Cristian Stellini has revealed that the club like Leicester midfielder James Maddison ahead of their Saturday clash at the King Power Stadium.
The 26-year-old has been linked with Tottenham for years, and the coaching staff have been keeping a close eye on him. Maddison is considered an important player in the Premier League, with his exceptional delivery, crossing, and shooting abilities making him a player that teams must be careful of.
Maddison is known for his impressive set-piece taking and his right foot makes him a dangerous player for any opponent. He has contributed 18 goals and 12 assists to Leicester’s season, despite a knee injury that ended his World Cup chances.
Tottenham and Leicester have had a strong rivalry over the years, with the two teams often fighting for points in the Premier League. Last season, Tottenham managed to claim a dramatic 3-2 victory at the King Power Stadium, with two goals from Steven Bergwijn in added time snatching the three points away from the hosts.
Earlier this season, the Lilywhites trashed the Foxes 6-2. This sets us up for an excellent clash when these two face off. Maddison is one player who can really change the game and Tottenham must be aware.
Speaking about the player, Stellini admitted that Tottenham like Maddison and he will be a player they will have to watch out for.
“We like Maddison like a player. He is an important player in this league, a player with an important type of skill, like his delivery, his cross, his right foot is a very important foot so he shoots, he crosses, he takes the set-pieces”
Despite Maddison being contracted with Leicester until the summer of 2024, Tottenham may still make a move for the talented midfielder. His performances have been consistently impressive, and the club is well aware of his abilities.
With the player’s contract expiring in less than eighteen months, Maddison might be available for a cheaper price in the summer. Let’s see how the talented English playmaker fares in the game against Tottenham.
