SEALED DEAL🤝✅:Spurs has signed one of the best’ players in the Premier League – report

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly taken the lead in the race to sign James Maddison.

This is according to a fresh report from The Guardian, who spoke about Maddison’s interest from Spurs and Newcastle.

Jacob Steinberg has reported that Tottenham’s rivals in the race for the player have cooled their interest.

Apparently, ‘their priorities lie elsewhere’, which means Spurs have jumped to the front of the queue.

Tottenham are now ‘expected to make a fresh move’ for Maddison.

Spurs reportedly had a joint bid for the 26-year-old and teammate Harvey Barnes turned down by Leicester last week.

Apparently, ‘their priorities lie elsewhere’, which means Spurs have jumped to the front of the queue.

Tottenham are now ‘expected to make a fresh move’ for Maddison.

Spurs reportedly had a joint bid for the 26-year-old and teammate Harvey Barnes turned down by Leicester last week.

Meanwhile, ‘sources have expressed doubt’ over Newcastle now making a move for Maddison.

They are reportedly closing in on AC Milan’s Sandro Tonali, which is apparently likely to cost them around £60million.

Our view
This is a great bit of news for Tottenham. Obviously it’s still all just speculation, but it’s still very positive for Spurs.

Tottenham appear to have got their first signing of the summer on board in Empoli’s Guglielmo Vicario.

That news seems to have split the Spurs fanbase.

However, no such thing should happen if Tottenham end up getting a deal for Maddison over the line.

Obviously we’ve all seen what he can do in the Premier League and internationally. He’s an amazing player.

Brendan Rodgers described him as “outstanding” and “one of the best players in the league” earlier this year.

Let’s see what happens in the coming weeks, but it’s certainly looking promising now for Tottenham.

Maddison would arrive to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to much fanfare.

With Ange Postecoglou now in charge at Spurs, things are definitely looking more optimistic.

Tottenham edging closer to deal for 28-year-old Barcelona talent

Although there’s still a month to go until pre-season for the 2023/24 campaign, it seems that Tottenham Hotspur are trying to get some deals done early.

New manager, Ange Postecoglou, will do well to hit the ground running at White Hart Lane and get the Spurs supporters onside from the get go.

Thursday saw confirmation of the signing of a new goalkeeper in Guglielmo Vicario, per The Guardian (subscription required), and though the north Londoners don’t need a root and branch clear out, bringing in a handful of other players whilst ridding themselves of any dead wood is surely going to help Postecoglou.

To that end, according to Sport (h/t Sport Witness), Tottenham are keen to retain the services of 28-year-old Barcelona centre-back, Clement Lenglet.

The Frenchman, who was loaned to the Premier League club by the Spanish league giants, clearly has no future under Xavi Hernandez, and it is surely in his best interests to find a new employer sooner rather than later.
