da 888: As reported by The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur are one of the teams interested in signing Norwich City midfielder James Maddison this summer.
What’s the story?
da apostaganha: Spurs will need a strong transfer window if they’re to continue progressing under Mauricio Pochettino and possibly challenge for the Premier League title next season.
While signing established talent should be a big priority, it’s also important for the club to secure the future of younger players who have yet to make their mark at the elite level.
One such player is James Maddison.
The Sun report that Tottenham are one of six Premier League sides chasing his signature this summer after a recent injury proved to be less severe than first feared.
The paper say he could cost as much as £25m.
Should Tottenham go all out to sign him?
It’s difficult enough to step up from the Championship to the Premier League, never mind moving to that next level at one of the division’s top six sides, so wherever Maddison ends up, he’ll have plenty of learning to do.
His season in the second-tier has been absolutely stunning, so he has as much chance as any young midfielder in the country to perform consistently for a side like Spurs.
With 15 goals and eight assists, he’s show he can contribute massively over the course of a long league seasons and appears ready to play against a higher standard of opposition.
Can Tottenham offer him the first team football he needs? There’s a good chance given Pochettino’s faith in youth English talent previously and ending up at Spurs could well be the best thing for the player’s development in comparison to a side like Man City.
