Tottenham Hotspur have made a major move in the transfer market, officially announcing the signing of Leicester City midfielder Jim Maddison for a fee of 45 million pounds (about HK$446 million) on a five-year contract. The 26-year-old England international was revealed to be an "anti-Tottenham man" who had posted on social media to stomp on Tottenham, but has since deleted the post to "clear his name".
As Lister City landed in the Championship, a number of main players have left the team, known as the most important asset James Maddison, once became the target of Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle earlier signed AC Milan midfielder Sindo Donnelly, out of the competition, so that Tottenham Hotspur can buy James Maddison "at parity", the price is lower than a year ago by more than 40%, Tottenham Hotspur is really a treasure.
James Maddison, who scored 10 goals and 9 assists in 30 Premier League appearances this past season, will earn £170,000 (about HK$1.68 million) a week after joining Tottenham Hotspur. However, James Maddison has been discovered by netizens to be a Tottenham hater, including a 2012 Twitter post mocking then-Spurs star Galileo Bali as a monkey and pointing out that former Arsenal midfielder Wesley Wishart was 10 times more powerful than Bali. 2013, James Maddison also posted a Twitter post saying he hoped that then-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez would shoot the Tottenham side out of the sky.
