Tottenham signing James Maddison is confident of his midfield partnership with Yves Bissouma.

The pair impressed against West Ham last week.

Maddison said, "Yeah if we're playing together. Bissouma's a very very good player. I played against him when he was at Brighton and he probably didn't play as much as he'd like to have done last season.

"But there's a top player in there, and maybe that would have been a good answer for the last question, he's surprised me a little bit. He's a leader, he talks.

"For someone who's only been at the club for a year and didn't maybe have the best first season as he would have hoped. He's very demanding and very vocal, and there's a brilliant player in there so I'm looking forward to seeing how that partnership can go."
