A fresh insight into the plans of the powers that be at Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur to reinforce the club’s midfield ranks with a view to next season has been provided on Saturday afternoon.
The info comes by way of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who has revealed the identity of new Lilywhites boss Ange Postecoglou’s ‘priority’ signing.
The player in question? James Maddison.

The future of midfielder Maddison, of course, has taken its place front and centre in the English media headlines over the course of the last couple of weeks.
This comes with the 26-year-old widely expected to be on the move, on the back of Leicester’s shock relegation to The Championship.
To this point, Tottenham and Newcastle have been the two outfits most widely tipped as potential destinations.
And, if Romano’s aforementioned update is anything to go by, Daniel Levy and co. are ready to take advantage of this situation, courtesy of an imminent assault on Leicester’s star man.
A fresh proposal is expected to be forthcoming by way of the north Londoners this week, with Maddison remaining ‘the priority target for Postecoglou in that position’.
