Tottenham are battling with Newcastle to sign James Maddison after Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League. Negotiations are due to take place soon for the 26-year-old, who is part of the England squad that meets on Monday for Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.
Tottenham’s new manager, Ange Postecoglou, is keen to bring in Maddison as part of his rebuild of a squad that finished eighth this season. Newcastle have been working since last summer on a deal for Maddison and can offer the attacking midfielder a first chance to play in the Champions League.
