Tottenham Hotspur could potentially make a move for Leicester City playmaker James Maddison, believes reliable journalist Alasdair Gold.

The Lowdown: Spurs in the market?

The Lilywhites and sporting director Fabio Paratici are believed to be in the market for a creative midfielder, even after their plethora of transfer activity so far this summer.

While the focus for now is said to be on outgoings, The Evening Standard back that Spurs could yet sign another attacker and haven't completely ruled out the possibility of another new central defender too, alongside Clement Lenglet.

Maddison, fresh off the back of a brilliant 2021/2022 Premier League campaign at The King Power Stadium, has been linked with a move to north London as Gold now shares what he knows.

The Latest: Gold hints at Maddison swoop...

Speaking in a football.london Q&A, the journalist has hinted at the possibility of a Spurs swoop for the Englishman.

He explained:

"The club shot down the Maddison links during the Korea tour but I can't help that feel if there is movement around the player from other sides and the chance to prise him away arises they might just make a move."

The Verdict: Worth a go...

As per WhoScored, an attempt to sign Maddison may well be worth the effort considering he finished last season as Brendan Rodgers' best-performing regular by average match rating whilst registering their highest amount of key passes per 90.

It's hardly surprising pundits like Owen Hargreaves have called the 25-year-old 'unplayable' on his day while Leicester reportedly value their star player at a marquee £60 million.

Spurs may arguably have to make a real effort to prise away the Foxes ace but Maddison's numbers and glowing reputation indicate why it may be one to watch.
