What several agents are now saying about James Maddison after claims Tottenham and Arsenal want him

Several agents have reportedly suggested that James Maddison is valued at around £40 million heading into the summer window, after claims both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal want to sign him. 

Tottenham will be hoping to replace Ryan Mason as acting head coach this week as they step up their attempts to land Ange Postecoglou ahead of the transfer window.

Of course, Arsenal also look set for a huge summer ahead too after missing out on the Premier League title, with Mikel Arteta seemingly keen to bolster his options in midfield.

The outlet claims several agents have suggested that Maddison’s market value sits at around £40 million heading into the summer window.

Yet, they have noted that Leicester could get more for the England international should multiple clubs try to sign him.

Maddison was exceptional once again over the past season, despite Leicester dropping down to the Championship.

He registered 19 goal involvements in 30 appearances in the Premier League but it wasn’t enough to keep the Foxes out of trouble.

It’s no surprise that he’s attracting plenty of interest ahead of the summer and he could have the choice between a few top clubs.

CBS Sports journalist has claimed that Maddison could decide he wants a move to Tottenham despite interest from Newcastle and Arsenal.

Of course, Spurs are in desperate need of a creative player in the middle of the park and Maddison certainly fits the bill, whereas Arsenal already have Martin Odegaard.

Yet, Mikel Arteta will be keen to add some extra quality to his squad as they prepare for a return to the Champions League.

Maddison will undoubtedly be keen on the idea of playing in Europe’s top club competition, but he may be mindful that Odegaard is likely to be the first choice should he move to the Emirates Stadium.
