Former Chelsea midfielder and talkSPORT pundit Andy Townsend has showered James Maddison with praise for his sensational start at Tottenham Hotspur.
Since joining the North London club, Maddison has made an immediate impact, recording 2 goals and 5 assists in just 8 Premier League appearances.
Maddison’s excellent form comes as no surprise, as he has established himself as one of the Premier League’s premier attacking midfielders over the past few years, consistently delivering standout performances.
Even during Leicester City’s challenging campaign last year, which ultimately led to their relegation, Maddison managed to score 10 goals and provide 9 assists for the Foxes.
Townsend, who has been impressed by Maddison’s on-field abilities, commended the midfielder for his pivotal role within the team, where he orchestrates and influences play.
The former Chelsea player noted that Maddison seems to relish being the central figure in the team and that it aligns perfectly with his personality.
Townsend told talkSPORT:
“I have really enjoyed watching Maddison.
“I have enjoyed watching him play because I think he enjoys being kind of almost the pivotal part of the team. I think that suits his personality. I have been impressed.”
TBH Says:
Maddison has indeed been a brilliant signing for Spurs. His impact extends beyond his ability on the pitch, as he has quickly become a popular and influential presence in the Tottenham dressing room.
His personality has endeared him to both teammates and fans, adding to the overall positive atmosphere at the club.
