Arsenal and Tottenham to battle for £60M Leicester midfielder Maddison

Arsenal and Tottenham are ready to battle for Leicester City midfielder James Maddison.

The Leicester playmaker, thought to be valued at around £60m, is believed to have piqued the interests of both clubs for sometime, says The Sun.

Now, with the two north London clubs circling, Leicester could be tempted to cash in on a player that is a prized financial asset for the club.

The Coventry-born player is currently enjoying his best ever season in front of goal, having already netted 13 times this campaign.

Arsenal were heavily linked with the player last summer but opted instead for Martin Odegaard, who represented a much cheaper option for the club last summer.

Meanwhile, it was reported that Spurs have a 'genuine' interest in bringing the player to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
