DONE DEAL: Maddison leaves Leicester for Tottenham

Tottenham have clinched the signing of Leicester City midfielder James Maddison.

The England international moves to Spurs for a £40m fee and on a five-year contract to 2028.

Tottenham saw off competition from Newcastle for Maddison, who flew in from Ibiza on Tuesday to complete the move.

The 26 year-old leaves Leicester following their relegation last season.

He made 203 appearances for Leicester after joining from Norwich in 2018 for a fee of around £20m.

Maddison scored 55 goals and provided 41 assists for the Foxes over his career at the King Power stadium.
