Tottenham Hotspur close to signing James Maddison after fee agreed with Leicester City

<p>

According to The Athletic, Tottenham are nearing a deal to sign James Maddison from Leicester City. </p>

<p>

The deal is believed to involve around £40m upfront with performance-related add-ons. Amid interest from several clubs, including Newcastle United, it appeared as if Leicester were holding out for somewhere closer to £60m but Spurs seems to have convinced them to take less upfront with the extras. </p>

<p>

Maddison arrived at the Foxes from Norwich in 2018 and the 26 had a fantastic season in 2022-23, playing 32 times for the club, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists from midfield. </p>

<p>

However, his performances were unable to help prevent Leicester from being relegated from the Premier League and Maddison's expected departure is going to form what will become something of a player exodus. </p>

<p>

Caglar Soyuncu, Ayoze Perez, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy and Ryan Bertrand are all expected to leave at some point during the summer and Youri Tielemans has already joined Aston Villa. </p>
