Tottenham eyeing Leicester attacker James Maddison

Tottenham are eyeing Leicester City attacker James Maddison for the summer market.

The Mirror says Leicester star Maddison has been identified as a potential replacement for Christian Eriksen.

There are growing expectations around Spurs that the Danish playmaker will leave in the summer. Eriksen's contract expires in 2020 and he has a number of suitors around Europe, including Real Madrid.

The north Londoners are long-term admirers of attacking midfielder Maddison, dating back to his days at hometown club Coventry.

Tottenham are low on homegrown players, forcing them to name reduced squads in both the Premier League and Champions League this season.

They hope to increase their quota in the next transfer window, and have a number of British players in their sights.
