James Maddison: Tottenham close in on £40m deal for Leicester and England midfielder

Tottenham are close to completing a £40m deal for Leicester midfielder James Maddison.

Maddison, 26, who has won three caps for England and helped the Foxes win the FA Cup in 2021, is set to undergo a medical at Spurs on Wednesday.

He has made 203 appearances for Leicester since joining from Norwich in 2018 for a fee of around £20m.

Maddison scored 10 Premier League goals last term but was unable to prevent the club from slipping to relegation.

Overall, he scored 55 goals and provided 41 assists for the Foxes and his creativity will be a welcome addition to a Spurs squad that has lacked a playmaker since the departure of Christian Eriksen in 2020.
