Tottenham keen on England Under-21 international

 

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is lining up a summer move for Leicester midfielder James Maddison, claims The Daily Mirror.

 

Pochettino has been given assurances about money being made available and is drawing up a list of transfer targets.

 

Tottenham have reportedly already lodged a club record bid for Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso and are also keen on Maddison.

The 22-year-old enjoyed a thoroughly impressive maiden campaign for Leicester this season and will represent England at the U21 European Championships this summer.

 

Maddison is a natural replacement for Christian Eriksen, who only has 12 months left to run on his existing Tottenham deal and has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid.

 

The Leicester midfielder played a direct hand in 14 league goals this season (seven goals, seven assists) and registered more key passes than any other player in the Premier League (100).
