What Leicester's James Maddison decision means for Arsenal and Spurs amid Youri Tielemans battle

Leicester City's latest James Maddison move could spell positive news for both Arsenal and Spurs as the pair remain hopeful in the transfer races for two of the Foxes stars whose futures will depend on other outgoings.

Both north London clubs have so far signed 11 players between themselves but more moves could be on the cards for the pair if the right opportunities were to pop up. "We’re still hoping to do something else if the market allows us to do that," Mikel Arteta outlined after the Gunners' win over Sevilla.

"You've seen some movement in the other direction in the last few days so we want to get the perfect balance and the plan we wanted right at the beginning. Whether we can accomplish that or not is another story, but I’m happy with where we are now." The case of Maddison will interest both Arsenal and Spurs. Not because they are the favourites to sign the Coventry-born attacking midfielder this summer but the repercussions that could follow if Newcastle were to fail in their attempts to land him.
