James Maddison has been told that Newcastle United are a 'bigger draw' than Tottenham Hotspur as the race for the midfielder's signature hots up. Both Newcastle and Spurs hold an interest in the England international, with United's interest going back to last summer.
The Magpies attempted to sign Maddison in the winter window and have retained their interest in the 26-year-old but with him being one of the only to stand out in a season that ended in relegation for Leicester City, they have other teams who are keen to secure his services.
However with Champions League football to offer Maddison, it's felt by some that United would be a more attractive move than Spurs who for the first time since 2008-09, didn't qualify for Europe.
