The rebuilding of Tottenham by new coach Ange Postecoglou seems to be going very well when in just 4 days, the "London Rooster" completed 3 transfer deals, the most notable of which was the contract named James Maddison, the talented midfielder who made Man United crazy and unsuccessfully pursue him three years ago.
James Maddison will soon debut in the new shirt
The Leicester and England star has agreed personal terms, including a £170,000-a-week salary and a five-year commitment, to become Tottenham's third summer signing.
Previously, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario officially joined the Tottenham Stadium team from Empoli (Italy) for 17 million pounds and midfielder Dejan Kulusevski was also asked to be bought by Tottenham after a period of playing on loan from Juventus.
"Leading fox" James Maddison had an explosive season but couldn't save Leicester
After being relegated, Leicester let many players go but could not bear to sell "leader" James Maddison when their goal was to quickly find a way back to the Premier League.
However, Leicester cannot stop their leader from looking for a future once Maddison needs to compete at the highest level to be eligible to serve England in the qualifying round and then the final round of EURO 2024.
Maddison is a fairly well-rounded attacking midfielder.
According to the agreement, Leicester will receive 40 million pounds from Tottenham, with additional fees to increase the contract value to 45 million pounds, according to official information from Mail Sport.
For their part, Tottenham will pay Maddison a weekly salary of £170,000 along with individual terms, enough to "beat" their biggest rival Newcastle in hunting for the midfielder's signature.
Tottenham need someone to share the burden with Harry Kane
In a team that won just nine games all season and scored 51 goals, James Maddison has shone in his own way, contributing 19 goals in 32 appearances. One bird is not enough to lift the team and now the 26-year-old star is looking for his own future.
If Harry Kane stays, Tottenham will have a new striker-midfielder pairing whose understanding is very important as both play in the same position for England.
James Maddison promises to be a good partner with Harry Kane like in the England team
Tottenham endured a disappointing 2022-2023 campaign despite being led by three different coaches. The "Roosters" entered their 15th year of drought, not even having a place in the European Cup next season.
The difficult problem is handed to new coach Ange Postecoglou and he needs to make changes, first from the midfield with the reasonable use of Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and soon James Maddison.
Maddison has scored 10 Premier League goals, more than Kevin De Bruyne (Man City, 7) and Bruno Fernandes (Man United, 8). He also has 9 Premier League assists, surpassing Fernandes (8) and Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard (7). According to Sofascore , Maddison's key passes per game (2.30) also help him surpass Odegaard (2.08).
Tottenham's super deal
With his rich experience in the Premier League, not needing much time to adapt and especially the prospect of playing alongside Harry Kane, James Maddison's strengths make him a very good contract in terms of transfer value and usage value for Tottenham. "The Rooster" wants to win titles, they must be less dependent on Harry Kane and Maddison is the solution to this difficult problem.
