Leicester have been relegated to the Championship and players like Maddison will want to move on this summer. He will be desperate to play in the Premier League next season and a move to Tottenham would be the ideal option for him.
Spurs are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements and Maddison will add goals and creativity from central areas.
Tottenham lacked creativity in the midfield last season and they needed to sign a player who will help create goal-scoring opportunities and chip in with goals consistently.
Maddison picked up 10 goals and 9 assists in the Premier League last season despite a dismal campaign from his side. He has the ability to transform Tottenham in the final third and he is likely to hit the ground running.
The midfielder is well-settled in the Premier League and the fans will have huge expectations from their new signing.
Maddison has 43 goals in 163 Premier League appearances with the Foxes and his numbers are likely to improve when he is playing alongside better players. His arrival will certainly help players like Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Richarlison as well. They are likely to thrive on the service from the midfielder.
