Spurs need to strengthen their squad in numerous areas, and attacking midfield is definitely one of them. Tottenham haven’t had a top-class number 10 since Dele Alli’s form fell off a cliff and Christian Eriksen left the club. Now, finally, they could get one if a deal for Maddison goes through.
Trevor Sinclair has had his say on the potential move now.
He said: “Historically Tottenham have always had a ball-playing midfielder. Someone who can hold onto the ball, who is technical, can look after it and try things, not be too safe, and I think that’s James Maddison.
“I think he would be a massive addition for them, for anyone in the league as a squad player, but for Spurs I think he could go right in there and be a starter.
“From what I hear, Ange Postecoglou impresses him. But he’s got to understand that if he wants to play for Postecoglou at Spurs, he’s got to work off the ball as well, not just on it.
“That’s an area where I feel if he wants to get to the next level he could work harder off the ball, so if he wants to go and work for Postecoglou he’s got to put in the hard yards.”
