Former Tottenham Hotspur winger Aaron Lennon has now suggested that James Maddison will be crucial to Ange Postecoglou’s success at Tottenham.
The 26-year-old midfielder has been quite impressive for Tottenham since joining them from Leicester City and Lennon feels that he needs to stay fit in order for Tottenham to have a good season.
“He has been outstanding all season, to be fair. He started the season like last season, and he is a fantastic player,” Lennon said (via TBR).
“He is one of those players you love to play with. He makes things happen, he plays forward. He was driving past players, he was reading the game well, lovely finish at the end, but, like you said, if the players in front of him had their shooting boots on, then he could have had three or four assists in that game.
“He is vital to everything that Spurs do, especially going forward. He is a key player, and Spurs need him to stay fit.”
Maddison is undoubtedly one of the best midfielders in the league right now and he has been Spurs’ creator-in-chief. The North London outfit will need him fit and firing in the upcoming months.
The 27-year-old has helped create goalscoring opportunities for his teammates with his vision, passing and technical ability in the final third. Although he has been criticised for his inconsistency at times, he remains an indispensable asset for Tottenham and it will be interesting to see if he can guide them to a successful season.
The Londoners will be desperate for Champions League qualification this season and they will look to do well in the domestic trophies as well. Tottenham have not won a trophy in a long time and Postecoglou will hope to end their wait for silverware this season. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham have had a mediocre start to the Premier League campaign so far, and they have picked up just seven points from five league games. It remains to be seen whether they can bounce back strongly and put together a winning run now.
