Maddison not willing to sink into the second tier – should he settle with the soul-searching Spurs?

It’s hard being a Leicester fan these days. The Foxes got relegated and their talented squad is being plucked apart. It is a little bit better being a Spurs fan but only a little bit. They keep floating in that mediocre Premier League limbo even though expectations are high ahead of each season.That being said – Tottenham will try and take advantage of Leicester’s current position and try to sign the best the Foxes can offer which at the moment is – James Maddison.##NAJAVA_MECA_7343815##Earlier this month, the Spurs had launched a 58 million euros bid for both Maddison and his team-mate James Barnes however a possibility for such a deal was quickly rebutted as it is obviously unrealistic. The White Hart Lane crew quickly came to their senses and made a more realistic offer. According to reports, they are now preparing to submit a 46 million euros bid for only MaddisonAnge Postecoglou has targetted the England international as one of his priority targets for the summer transfer window. Postecoglou has already agreed his first deal as Spurs boss, with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario arriving from Empoli for 20 million euros.Back to Maddison.
