Newcastle have cooled their interest in James Maddison - boosting Tottenham's chances of signing the England international.
Maddison, 26, is one of the most exciting attacking players in English football and is expected to leave Leicester following their relegation to the Championship. He scored 10 goals and provided nine assists in the Premier League last season.
Newcastle were leading the race for Maddison's signature but may find it difficult to meet Leicester's £50million price tag due to the imminent arrival of Sandro Tonali from AC Milan. The 23-year-old midfielder is set to sign a six-year contract with the Magpies.
