Tottenham Hotspur have Leicester City midfielder James Maddison 'on their radar,' and qualifying for the Champions League could help them in their pursuit, according to CBS reporter Ben Jacobs.
Fabio Paratici oversaw a summer spending spree of more than £150 million as Antonio Conte bolstered his squad in north London, but more spending could be on the way.What is the most recent news about Maddison?
Spurs were said to be'seriously considering' a move for Maddison after the 2021-22 season ended.
They were not alone in their desire for his services, as Newcastle United made a £50 million bid that was rejected by the Foxes, who were demanding £60 million.The Magpies, however, do not appear to be giving up and are planning another move in January, according to Football Insider.
With Maddison in the final two years of his £110,000-per-week contract at the King Power, the North East club is hoping his price has dropped since the summer.Do you know who this obscure player signed for Tottenham in the January transfer window?
What has Jacobs said about Tottenham's interest?
Jacobs understands that the attacking midfielder is still on the north Londoners' radar ahead of the January transfer window.
However, if he continues to impress this season, more clubs than Spurs and Newcastle will be interested in signing him."Tottenham have had Maddison on their radar as well, and, come next summer, they might be the kind of club, if they get back-to-back seasons of Champions League football, that's a big appeal to James Maddison," Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT. But there's a lot more to him than that, as you'd expect given his current state. Many Premier League clubs, in particular, are taking James Maddison very seriously because he is demonstrating week after week what he can offer to a top club."
Is Maddison required by Tottenham?
Conte was said to be eager to add a creative presence to his midfield unit during the summer, but the club failed to achieve that goal.Tottenham, on the other hand, has found the net 23 times in 11 games this season, a total only surpassed by Arsenal and Manchester City.
However, defeats against Newcastle, Manchester United, and Arsenal suggest that they may be lacking that cutting edge on big occasions.
Maddison has six goals this season, bringing his Premier League total to 39 in 143 games. He could be the man to solve a problem at Tottenham Hotspur.
