Tottenham Hotspur hero Gary Lineker has been left red-faced eight months after making a thinly-veiled dig at Arsenal.
The Gunners were heavily linked with a move for Leicester City playmaker James Maddison over the course of the summer transfer window but a move never materialised. The Foxes were demanding more than £60million for the England international and the north Londoners eventually turned their attention to former loanee Martin Odegaard instead.
And during that time, Lineker weighed in on the situation, telling Maddison that a move to the Emirates Stadium would be a step backwards. His tweet read: "From my experience, taking a backward step never ends well", tagging the 25-year-old in the process.
