Tottenham may have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Leicester City and England playmaker James Maddison in the transfer window. It comes as Brendan Rodgers made an admission over the difficulties for his side to raise funds for their own planned signings.
A creative player has been a missing piece for Spurs since the arrival of Antonio Conte, with the side unable to land one in the summer window. Christian Eriksen was linked with filling that role as a free agent, but the Lilywhites didn't pursue a return as the Dane made a move to Manchester United.
Conte has already seen his forward lines decimated with injuries, with Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison currently missing from action. Discussing the issues, the head coach said: "I remember very well that I said in our team when we miss two or three important players we have problems... I remember I said if you have four players, the strikers who are usually the creative players, and two are injured, we are in trouble."
