Ange on ‘outstanding’ Maddison

Ange Postecoglou is excited to see the impact of James Maddison on the team.

Signed from Leicester City earlier this summer, James has built a reputation over the last few years as one of the most productive midfielders in the Premier League –  only Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne (46) has been involved in more goals than Madders (39) in the last two seasons.

And the 26-year-old has already been showing glimpses of just what he can do in front of goal with a handful of assists in pre-season.

Having settled in to life at Hotspur Way in no time at all, it is clear he has also made an impression on Ange who, as we continue to prepare for Sunday’s campaign opener against Brentford, is eager to see how the England international gets on in Lilywhite.
