James Maddison has Harry Kane issue with dream Tottenham shirt number ahead of £40m transfer

James Maddison looks set to become Tottenham's third permanent signing of the summer under new head coach Ange Postecoglou. After Dejan Kulusevski's loan move from Juventus was made permanent and Guglielmo Vicario joined from Empoli, the Leicester forward is set to join them at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

football.london understands that Maddison is due to have his medical at Hotspur Way on Wednesday, with a deal in the region of £40million agreed between Spurs and the Foxes to secure his signing.

It is an exciting signing for the new head coach's attacking philosophy in N17, with supporters too impressed with the move. Maddison had Newcastle United as a suitor too, but Spurs always looked to be the preferred destination, despite the lack of European football next season, something the Magpies could offer.
