Tottenham Set to Finalize Deal for Remarkable 26-Year-Old This Week

It seems Tottenham is currently in a favorable position to sign James Maddison. The Telegraph reported on Monday that Ange Postecoglou’s team aims to secure the 26-year-old’s signature in the coming days.

Tottenham expected to agree Maddison deal this week

According to The Athletic, Tottenham and Leicester are predicted to finalize an agreement this week, with Spurs willing to pay an initial £40 million plus add-ons.

Leicester is seeking £60 million for the attacking midfielder, but personal terms are not expected to be a problem for Tottenham, as reported.

Securing Maddison would be a significant achievement for Spurs. In the last few years, he has been outstanding, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists last season even as Leicester faced relegation.

He has been consistently ‘impressive’ and could be the player Tottenham has been sorely missing since Christian Eriksen’s decline before his departure.

While the deal is not yet finalized, Tottenham fans should remain cautious about getting too excited. There is likely to be considerable interest in the player while he is still available, and news of a close transfer to Spurs may attract other clubs.

However, all indications point to Tottenham nearing a deal, suggesting that the transaction is not far from completion.
