Ange Postecoglou, manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has stated that he cannot wait to begin working with James Maddison.
Postecoglou was speaking to the press for the first time since taking over as Spurs manager, according to Football London.
The Australian coach moved fast during the transfer window to add two vital players.
To begin, Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was brought in to replace club captain Hugo Lloris.
Leicester City’s James Maddison was the second player through the door, in a £40 million move.
The England international fills a need in Tottenham’s roster left by Christian Eriksen‘s departure.
Ange Postecoglou often uses three center midfielders, with one serving as an attacking, creative outlet.
Matt O’Riley led the way for Celtic, scoring three goals and dishing out 12 assists.
Postecoglou is looking forward to working with Maddison at Tottenham and developing him into a comparable talent.
Given his performance in the Premier League for Leicester last season, he appears to be up to the challenge.
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is looking forward to working with Maddison.
Postecoglou said of the 26-year-old: “I’m really excited to have him as part of the group.” Any manager will tell you that having various offensive threats and a midfielder who can score and create goals are important components of becoming a powerful team.He’s shown himself as a capable player at that level in the previous three years.”When you look at Tottenham in recent years, you’ll notice that they’ve relied heavily on their front three to score goals.
“I thought looking for a player like James was a really good fit for us – even better if we could get James.” So we ended up with James.”I was quite happy, and the fact that we completed it early allowed him to take a rest.”
Bringing Maddison to Tottenham so early in Postecoglou’s career can only be a good thing.
He’s already been dubbed the’summer signing,’ and he’s previously worked with Harry Kane during their time together with England.
It’s a pairing that, if possible, might extract even more out of the center-forward.
That is, if he remains at the club come summer.
