He is “on the verge” of reaching superstardom.
A “top-class talent” is “on the verge” of becoming truly world-class,” according to Ange Postecoglou, manager of Tottenham Hotspur.

Thanks to their new management, Spurs are now a totally different team. Postecoglou’s revamped Tottenham club is playing an attacking-minded brand of football that stands in stark contrast to the Antonio Conte era, and it has led to them leading the Premier League rankings.

 

It has been the North Londoners’ greatest start to a season since they captured the domestic double in 1961. They have yet to lose a league match this year. The fact that Tottenham is succeeding while lacking former star striker Harry Kane, who signed a multi-million dollar contract with Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window, makes their recent run even more amazing.

Speaking about their recent success, Kane expressed his total love for Tottenham’s newfound vigor under Postecoglou.

The England star stated, “It’s great to see,” according to The Daily Mail “I think I’ve said before, the manager is doing great for them with the way they’re playing. The fans are right behind the team and it’s definitely what they needed after the last few years. I’ll always keep an eye on Spurs and the Premier League.

“Of course, there’s still a long way to go, but like the manager said, there’s no reason why the fans shouldn’t be excited and happy with the way things are going. Hopefully, they can continue. I have made it clear my whole career I am a Tottenham fan and I would love to see Tottenham do well. There is no other team in the Premier League I would want to win than Tottenham.”

Who are Tottenham’s best players?

Spurs’ incredible start is the result of the efforts of numerous team members. Conte had previously disfavored players like Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr, but they are now crucial dual midfield pivots for Tottenham in front of the defense four, solidifying their positions as regular starters. Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min, who both thrive in the offensive zones, are currently back to their best.

As Tottenham’s center-back partnership, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero have also developed a strong rapport, but there is a strong argument to be made that summer acquisition James Maddison stands out above the others. The 26-year-old, who cost £40 million to acquire from Leicester City over the summer, is looking like a complete steal after contributing to five goals and two assists in league play alone.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Jenas claims that Madison is “on the verge” of being world class, going on to hail the “top-class talent” at Spurs.

“He’s transformed a team on his own,” Jenas said. “That’s the biggest fear for Spurs, his fitness and maintaining that all year. If you take him out of that team it’s totally different. He’s a top-class talent on the verge of being a world-class talent as soon as he gets on that stage.”
