Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison has admitted he is loving live in north London.
The England midfielder made the move to Tottenham in the summer from Leicester City following their relegation.
And it seems James Maddison does not regret his decision as he blossoms under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou.
James Maddison stats
Since arriving at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Maddison has become an instant success having slotted straight into the starting XI.
And that can also be seen through his return of three goals and eight assists in the Premier League alone.
Although he may not have scored as many as he will have wished, it has to be remembered he was sidelined with a serious injury.
The 26-year-old is now on the road to returning to his absolute best, but he still managed to provide an assist on the weekend.
Following the win over Crystal Palace, he said: ‘I absolutely love it here. I feel like the club was made for me, I have always been a fan of some of the players who have played in my position in Spurs teams in the past. When I was looking at my options in the summer I just saw there might have been a little gap for me to come and slot into this side and this club and everyone has taken to me brilliantly – so thank you for that.’
Eriksen successor
Having sold Christian Eriksen a number of years ago, Spurs have been crying out for a replacement for the Dane.
And it seems they may finally have that in the £40m signing of Maddison over the summer.
The England midfielder was forced to miss a large period of the season due to injury and he had made a stunning star before sustaining the injury.
Nine of those 11 goal involvements came before his injury in November.
He has now made a return to the starting XI, but he will be forgiven in taking some time to get back to his best after being out for so long.
The same can be said for Rodrigo Bentancur who has already discussed his difficulties in coming back from a long time out.
Although it may be a slow return to returning in front of goal, it is apparent Maddison is a long-term option for the Postecoglou project.
