James Maddison's views on Tottenham Hotspur have resurfaced with the midfielder deleting tweets expressing previous disdain for his new club.
It was inevitable that the much-sought after Maddison, 26, would leave Leicester after the club were relegated from the Premier League in the 2022/23 season. Newcastle seemed to be leading the pursuit for the England international, but now Spurs have swooped with the two parties having seemingly agreed a deal.
It means Maddison will become part of Ange Postecoglou's rebuild in north London, and the signing will be viewed as a statement of intent from the former Celtic boss. It's perhaps a scenario the player himself would not have envisaged though back in 2012, when he was a 15-year-old attached to Coventry City's youth set up.
