Tottenham Hotspur were linked with a move for Leicester City midfielder James Maddison during the summer transfer window.
The England international has been in very impressive form over the past year and he deserves to play for a top club.
Spurs could have been the ideal step up in his career but Leicester City managed to hold on to him in the summer. It will be interesting to see if clubs like Spurs are willing to test their resolve in January or at the end of the season.
Antonio Conte is in desperate need of reinforcements and a creative midfielder would be a much-needed addition for the Londoners.
Maddison would add goals, flair and creativity in the final third. Conte has a quality midfield but they are severely lacking in goals and craft. The £50m-rated Leicester star would add just that.
His arrival would help the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min as well. Both players would thrive on the service from the England midfielder.
Maddison is currently away on World Cup duty with England and his compatriot Phil Foden has now heaped praise on the midfielder. The Manchester City star also lavished praise on Chelsea’s Mason Mount.
Speaking to Daily Mail, he said: “Technically, it’s probably the best England squad I’ve seen. I like Mason Mount a lot and James Maddison as well, the way he plays – players who can receive it in the pocket on the half-turn and can make the killer pass or shoot from distance. There is competition in every position. No matter who plays, the others will be supporting them because that’s the kind of group we are. We just want the best out of each other.”
