Ahead of Spurs’ Premier League opener against Brentford, Postecoglou spoke at length about several topics, including recent signings. Maddison is arguably the most high-profile Tottenham summer arrival, an England international who has long been tearing it up in the Premier League.

“He was one of the first pieces of business we did,” replied the Spurs head coach.
“He was available and I was really excited to bring him into the group. Knowing what we needed to build here.
“And again, knowing if Harry was going to leave that’s a fair few goals walking out of the door and knowing you can’t just replace that with one player.
“An area of the club that needing bolstering was midfield threat in terms of goals. And that’s what Madders provides – goals and assists.
“If we’ve going to cover the fact that Harry’s gone and all the goals are leaving with him, we’re going to have to spread that out and Madders provides that.
“He’s been brilliant since he’s come in, he’s been outstanding. Not just in the games but in training. And the way he’s embraced the club and developed in the football we want to play.”
