Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been linked with James Maddison, but it seems that it is Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur who are pressing ahead with their interest.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs who are interested in signing James Maddison from Leicester City in the summer transfer window.
90min have reported that Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United all are keen on the England international attacking midfielder.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal have actually spoken to the entourage of the 26-year-old in the last six months, according to the report.
The Mirror reported in May that Arsenal are looking into the possibility of bringing Maddison to the Emirates Stadium.
However, it is Tottenham who are seemingly pressing ahead with a move.
90min have reported that Tottenham have opened talks with Leicester for Maddison, described as “a talented and intelligent footballer” by former Spurs Hotspur striker Gary Lineker on Twitter in March 2023.
Tottenham Hotspur need James Maddison more than Arsenal do
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur need James Maddison more than Arsenal do.
Arsenal do have a very good attacking unit.
Martin Odegaard is one of the best creative players around, and there is also Emile Smith Rowe.
Tottenham have not been really able to replace Christian Eriksen.
Spurs do need a playmaker in the mould of Maddison.
The Leicester no. 10 scored 10 goals and gave nine assists in the Premier League for Leicester this season.
