Ange Postecoglou has told Tottenham Hotspur chiefs he wants James Maddison this summer, according to reports.
Spurs were one of the clubs linked with the Leicester City midfielder last summer but the Foxes rebuffed all approaches. Newcastle United twice failed to sign Maddison, with their highest bid believed to be in the region of £45million.
Then Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers laughed off the fee but, given Maddison now has one year left on his contract, King Power chiefs are in no position to negotiate. Relegation from the Premier League has only heightened expectation that the 26-year-old will leave.
