‘I know someone at Spurs’ – Presenter relays what he has heard about James Maddison behind the scenes
This summer, Maddison moved to North London for under £40 million (SkySports), an acquisition that several Premier League competitors must be envious of.
The England midfielder has now appeared in eight Premier League games for Spurs, contributing to five goals and two assists while also winning Player of the Month honors (TransferMarkt).
This season, North London has seen more than just changes on the field; the entire atmosphere surrounding the team has improved.
Heung-Min Son of Tottenham Hotspur celebrates with James Maddison after scoring the team’s fourth goal during the Premier League game between Burnley FC and Tottenham Hotspur at Turf Moor on September 02, 2023 in Burnley, England.
James Maddison is a lovely guy behind the scenes
Since the heyday of Mauricio Pochettino, it appears that Tottenham is aligned from Daniel Levy at the top to the players and staff at the bottom.
Midway through October, the Lilywhites are leading the Premier League standings, and the mood at Hotspur Way will likely be upbeat. However, it seems that James Maddison is someone who always makes a good impression.
“I know someone at Spurs, who is there day in and day out, says he’s the nicest fella you’ll meet,” added Goldstein.
Tottenham is bringing good people and leaders into the locker room. In that regard, Heung-min Son and James Madison are truly setting the example by not just winning games but also serving as positive role models.

Tottenham scouts watching magician with 34 goals and 37 assists
Kerem Akturkoglu, a Turkish winger, is the target of Tottenham Hotspur’s latest report in The Sun.
The star for Galatasaray helped them win the league last year and has been instrumental in their perfect start this year.
When Galatasaray defeated Manchester United 3-2 last week, the magician known by the moniker Harry Potter scored a goal.
According to the story, Tottenham had scouts at Old Trafford to observe him, and they will do so again on Thursday when Turkey plays Croatia in a Euro 2024 qualifying match.
Tottenham are not the only team interested in the Turkish attacker; West Ham are as well, according to the source, who reportedly have scouts keeping an eye on him.
In 16 games for Galatasaray this season, he has 5 goals and 7 assists, and in 135 matches with the Turkish powerhouse, he has 34 goals and 37 assists.
Given their favorable relationship with Galatasaray following the recent transfers of midfielder Tanguy Ndombele and forward Davinson Sanchez, Tottenham may have an edge in negotiating a deal with the Turkish club.
After the English deadline expired, the Turkish club claimed both players off their hands.
The player will be seeking a team where playing time is guaranteed, and Spurs may not be able to provide that right away.
He might be a fantastic acquisition in the future. His current deal with the Turkish club, which runs out in 2026, is worth £15 million at the moment.
