Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has made an official announcement regarding the signing of James Maddison. The 26-year-old midfielder becomes the second summer arrival at Spurs, following Guglielmo Vicario's £17 million move from Empoli earlier this week. Additionally, Dejan Kulusevski has transitioned from his loan spell to a permanent deal with the club.
After successfully completing his medical examination on Wednesday, Maddison has put pen to paper on a five-year contract with Tottenham. The club reached an agreement with Leicester City for a transfer fee of £40 million.
Maddison's move to Tottenham has been in the works for the summer, especially with Leicester's relegation to the Championship and the midfielder having just one year left on his contract. While Newcastle also expressed interest in Maddison, Spurs emerged as the frontrunners in the race, while Newcastle shifted their focus to securing the services of Sandro Tonali from AC Milan.
The signing of James Maddison bolsters Tottenham's midfield options and adds significant quality to their squad. With his creative abilities and goal-scoring prowess, Maddison is expected to contribute to Spurs' ambitions for success in domestic competitions.
