James Maddison a big player for Tottenham Hotspur
In our view, James Maddison is one of the best English playmakers around and is a big player for Tottenham Hotspur.
Maddison was brilliant at Leicester City, and he has brought that form to Tottenham.
The 26-year-old is a very classy player.
Tottenham now have a player who has truly replaced Christian Eriksen in the team.
Maddison has made six appearances in the Premier League for Tottenham so far this season.
The 26-year-old has scored two goals and given four assists in those games.
Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
We believe that Maddison will play a key role in that quest.
The England international has to stay on top of his game throughout the season for Tottenham to get back into the UEFA Champions League places.
