In fact, the Spurs are hoping to sign Maddison this week. They also seek to secure an arrangement that includes a £40 million up-front fee with additional add-ons.
The signing of Maddison by Tottenham would be a huge statement of intent. He has been a bright spot for Leicester City, assisting on 77 goals in 163 Premier League appearances. Spurs have undoubtedly lacked a really creative midfielder since Christian Eriksen’s departure.
