Maddison has agreed on a deal that will run until 2028, with Spurs expected to pay close to £45m total in the deal.

The 26-year-old began his career with Coventry City, progressing through the youth ranks to make his professional debut in August 2014. He then joined Championship side Norwich City in January 2016 but remained at Coventry for one season. He made 42 appearances in total for his home town club, scoring five goals.
He enjoyed success in Norwich City, finishing his first full campaign as the club’s top scorer with 15 goals and claiming City’s Player of the Season award, among other personal prizes.
He earned a £20m switch to Leicester the following season and had been a key Foxes player throughout his time at the club. The England international reached double figures in front of goal in the Premier League in both 2021/22 and 2022/23 and has played Europa League and Europa Conference League football.
