In the race for signing James Maddison, Tottenham Hotspur sealed the deal, outpacing Manchester City.
The Daily Mail report reveals that Spurs needed to act swiftly to secure the gifted playmaker.
Last night, Tottenham disclosed their first on-pitch signing of the summer season.
James Maddison had long been on Tottenham’s radar, and after a bid was placed, the transfer process accelerated.
Although Leicester continued to assert a £60m price for their top player, an agreement was finally made for a more affordable £40m.
Having signed a contract of five years, he might be a significant figure in Ange Postecoglou’s setup.
Considering Maddison’s last season performance, it’s not surprising that both Tottenham and Manchester City expressed interest.
Spurs’ ability to close a contract so swiftly is certainly satisfying for them.
If Newcastle’s interest in the playmaker is taken into account, getting a deal done before a bidding competition could be a brilliant business move.
Man City Had Set Sights On New Tottenham Recruit Maddison
The Daily Mail’s report indicates that Maddison and Gabri Veiga had been identified as valuable targets by Man City.
Showing quick efficiency, Tottenham managed to secure Maddison’s future, an achievement they undoubtedly take pride in as he was among their top targets.
The style of football that Ange Postecoglou encourages, open and offensive, suits Maddison exceptionally well.
Maddison’s 19 goal contributions last season, considering Leicester’s underwhelming performance, became the highlight.
His ability to manage that in team with struggling strikers is even more remarkable.
With Maddison on their side, Tottenham might witness him providing opportunities for Harry Kane and Son Heung-min next season, definitely a nerve-racking possibility.
Maddison might require some defensive backup from the two midfielders as it isn’t his forte.
However, based on the interest shown by Man City, Tottenham can confidently say that they’ve made an excellent signing with Maddison.
There are already claims suggesting that Maddison will turn out to be a bargain in the years ahead.
