Tottenham are aiming to steal a march on Newcastle United in the battle for James Maddison.

The Leicester City midfielder intends to leave this summer after their relegation.

Newcastle are keen and can offer Maddison Champions League football. Indeed, it's suggested the favours a move to Tyneside this summer.

However, Tottenham are to make an opening offer this week to the tune of £50m.

Leicester hope to sell for closer to £60m and are likely to wait for counter offers before taking the Spurs proposal seriously.
