Cristian Stellini has admitted that Leicester midfielder James Maddison is a player that Tottenham boss Antonio Conte and the coaching staff like ahead of Saturday's clash at the King Power Stadium.
Spurs have been linked with the 26-year-old for years and were heavily mooted with finally making a move last summer after the England international contributed 18 goals and 12 assists to Leicester's season. Despite a knee injury that ended his World Cup chances, this season has still brought another eight goals and four assists from 17 games from Maddison despite the Foxes' difficult campaign which has them 14th in the Premier League.
Tottenham travel to Leicester on Saturday for the first time since last season's dramatic 3-2 victory at the King Power Stadium with two Steven Bergwijn goals in added time snatching the three points away from the hosts. Maddison scored that night last January and assistant boss Stellini admits the midfielder, who has a contract until the summer of 2024, is someone the coaching staff like.
