James Maddison 'deletes old tweets' criticising Tottenham and hating Gareth Bale

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.
