Emmanuel Adebayor admits he has ‘huge respect and love’ for 26-year-old Tottenham man

Emmanue🅰l Adebayor has admitted that he’s already loving watching James Maddison⛎ play for Tottenham Hotspur this season.

Adebayor was speaking to about his old team who are flying at the top 𓆏of the table.

There are very few people watching the Premier League right now who haven’t been immediately impressed with James Maddison.

It’s hard to imagine a better fit right now than the England international and Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Not only has he impr⛄oved the team significantly on the pitch, he’s completely bought i💙nto the ethos of the club and it’s having a hugely positive effect on his teammates.

Adebayor admitted he loves watching Maddison at Tottenham and believes the man reminds him of himself wh🍨en he was playing.

Maddison may not be scoring as many goals as the Togolese international but might argue he’s already a bet🍸ter playmaker.

Adebayor adores watching Maddison for Tottenham

Asked abo🤡ut the 26-year-old, : “Actually, [James] Maddison is a player that I really like a lot.

“When I was playing myself I liked to carry the ball, I liked to drop into the middle, be part of the game, that’s why I have a huge respec💜t and love for Maddison.

“But the im✅pact that he has brought into the Tottenham team is something different.”

Maddison and his teammates head to Crystal Palace tomorrow evening looking to extend their lead at the top of the ☂Premier League to five points.

It’s way too early in the season to be making title predictions, but i𒀰f the aim was returning to the Champions League this campaign then they’re well on their way.

The wꦑorry for some Spurs fans will be the dept𝕴h in the squad right now.

If anything were to happen to Maddison, Son Heung-min, Cristiaꦕn Romero or even Destiny Udogie,ꦰ it would have a huge impact on the side.

Tottenham fans and Adebayor won’t want to think about that right now and will instead conti💫nue to enjoy Maddison’s match-winning performances.

He was brilliant again against Fulham on Monday and Adebayor’s old teammate Aaron Lennon agreed that he’s been ridiculous this season.
