James Maddison will wear the No 71 shirt for Tottenham during pre-season this summer.

The midfielder completed his £45million move to the north London club back in June.

The 26-year-old made 19 goal contributions in 32 appearances last season and will now relish pairing up with fellow England team-mate Harry Kane in attack.

Maddison put pen to paper on a five-year deal that will earn him £170,000 a week at Spurs, with the midfielder set to play a big part in the club's pre-season tour.
