I'm not really interested in oneupmanship but i don't think there was a lack of interest from Newcastle, i'm pretty sure they were extremely interested but when thing progressed it was clear Maddison preferred Spurs (probably for family reasons but we can beleive it was simply because we are a superior club). Either way, it left us a dream run at a player who, quite honestly, shouldn't be signing for a team who've just finished 8th ! A genuine 'difference maker' type signing.I thought we'd struggle to get him for less than £45m. I guess Newcastle's lack of interest and Leicester wanting to do a deal quickly helped things along.
Really looking forward to watching him play for us.
