In this transfer window, the signing of James Maddison from Leicester City has had a transformative impact on Tottenham Hotspur’s prospects this season. It’s truly remarkable how the addition of one player can reshape a team, and James Maddison is clearly illustrating this phenomenon under the management of Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur.”

Trent roasts Maddison after replay joke
James Maddison’s presence in the attacking unit of Tottenham’s squad has livened up the club, even without Harry Kane, who was sold off to Bayern Munich after a lengthy negotiation process. The former Leicester City playmaker was in action in Tottenham’s win over Liverpool last month. Although the match was dominated by VAR controversy over a disallowed Luiz Diaz goal, which Howard Webb has provided an explanation for, it didn’t stop James Maddison from making a light joke with his international teammate on international duties.
Maddison had posted a picture of him and Alexander Arnold with the caption, “Still asking for a replay,” referencing the controversial incident when the VAR miscommunicated its decision, leading to Luis Diaz’s goal being disallowed. Although the PGMOL apologized to Liverpool, Klopp felt the goal could have changed the outcome of the match, which Liverpool went on to lose 2-1.
Trent Alexander Arnold has now gotten one over the Tottenham man after joking about how his free-kick against Leicester City last season was enough to relegate them. “He was asking me to teach him how to put a free kick in the top corner. But I just showed him the video when I scored against Leicester last year, and they got relegated,” the Liverpool man said in response to Maddison’s cheeky post.
Maddison trolling Bournemouth fans goes viral
Tottenham Hotspur won their third Premier League game of the season against Bournemouth, with James Maddison getting on the scoresheet to get the last laugh over the home fans after they had taunted him all afternoon.
The former Leicester City man got Tottenham up and running as he scored the game’s first goal in the 17th minute before Dejan Kulesevksi wrapped up the game in the 63rd minute. Bournemouth fans had sung a chant to taunt Maddison before he got his goal. “Southgate’s right, you’re f***ng sh**te,” they sang every time Maddison stepped up to take a corner.
The Tottenham man showed some class as he pretended to put the ball way beyond the corner line before laughing at the home crowd. One of the home fans was caught saying, “He is a good lad,” in acknowledgement of Maddison making light of the situation.
Can Tottenham win the Premier League this season?
