Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly engaged in advanced discussions with Leicester City for the potential signing of England international midfielder James Maddison.

According to Sky Sports News, Tottenham is currently engaged in advanced discussions with Leicester City regarding the potential signing of midfielder James Maddison.

There is a sense of cautious optimism that a deal can be reached. Although there is a slight gap in valuation, efforts are being made to bridge the gap, and personal terms are not anticipated to pose an issue.

Newcastle's pursuit of James Maddison, who had only one year remaining on his Leicester contract, has taken a new direction as the club now focuses on securing AC Milan's Sandro Tonali.

Meanwhile, Tottenham is determined to strengthen its midfield options ahead of Ange Postecoglou's inaugural season as manager.

The team has already finalized a £17.2m deal for goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario this summer and made Dejan Kulusevski's loan move from Juventus permanent.
