As per reports by The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur are readying an offer for Leicester City midfielder, James Maddison as Spurs are looking to build a team according to new head coach, Ange Postecoglou. The reports also suggest that the North London club are hesitant to match the Foxes' asking price of £60 million ($76m).

Spurs are reportedly ready to offer a sum of £40 million ($51m) with add-ons and instalments as part of the deal that is struck for the Englishman. Newcastle United have also shown interest in the midfielder, however, they are likely to back out after their signing of Sandro Tonali from AC Milan.
