Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly moved ahead of Newcastle United in the race to sign Leicester City attacking midfielder James Maddison.
That is according to a Recent Soccer Insider Report who claims that the Foxes will lose Maddison at the end of the season.
Leicester City’s status within the Premier League is under great threat as the 2015-16 title winners sit 19th in the table with just eight games to go.
Consequently, the Foxes, regardless of where they play their football next season, are expected to undergo some major changes. Youri Tielemans has been unable to extend his contract and seems intent on leaving King Power for free at the end of the season and Maddison is another high-profile player likely to move on.
The England international is admired by Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, but with Newcastle and Totteham actively seeking a deal, it looks like the race will be between the bottom two sides.
And according to these latest reports, it is Daniel Levy’s Lillywhites who are the favorites to ward off the 26-year-old from Leicester.
Since joining the Foxes from Norwich City in 2018, Maddison, who has just over 12 months left on his contract, has scored 54 goals in 196 games across all competitions.
