Tottenham legend Hoddle backing move for Leicester midfielder Maddison

Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle is backing a move for Leicester City midfielder James Maddison.

Hoddle believes the midfielder will be a perfect fit for the north London side.

He told talkSPORT: "They [Tottenham] need some creativity. Because at the moment it's down to them [Kane and Son], it's down to Harry dropping in and creating when I think the style of the players they've got up the pitch, if you did have that [Christian] Eriksen when he was Tottenham, for example.

"Maddison, I agree with whoever said that in the background, I love him, I think he's one that should be in the England squad.

"I think if he was playing at the top – no disrespect to Leicester – but if he was playing in a top-six team he would be absolutely sensational and probably a shoo-in.

"You know, someone like that who comes in off the lines, creative, you've only got to look at the best teams in the country and you've got them sort of players."
