Maddison ‘to hold talks with new Tottenham manager’ amid Postecoglou sack latest
James Maddison faces an uncertain future at Tottenham as the summer transfer window nears.
It has been a difficult season for Tottenham, with plenty of the big-name stars in North London struggling to perform consistently.
This includes Maddison, who has been in and out of the team at times, and is thought to have had a bust-up with Ange Postecoglou behind the scenes [The Boy Hotspur].
As a result, the midfielder’s future is uncertain, with Daniel Levy thought to be willing to accept an offer of £50million for Maddison. However, it appears no decision will be made until Postecoglou’s future is resolved amid the latest on the Australian.
Postecoglou likely to leave Tottenham
Tottenham still have a chance to end this season on a high by winning the UEFA Europa League, with the first leg of the Lilywhites’ semi-final against Bodø/Glimt to come at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday (1 May).
However, even if Spurs end their 17-year trophy drought, Postecoglou is still expected to leave Tottenham.
| Fixture | Date | Venue |
| Tottenham v Bodø/Glimt | 1 May | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium |
| Bodø/Glimt v Tottenham | 8 May | Aspmyra Stadion |
Therefore, ex-Spurs scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes Maddison will hold talks with Postecoglou’s replacement before a decision his made on his future.
“Something isn’t right with Maddison,” King said.
“His performances have been so inconsistent. However, I can’t see Postecoglou remaining at Spurs. Therefore, it will be up to the new manager to decide what happens with Maddison.
“This is a player who has still got three years on his contract. Therefore, Spurs are in no rush to make any decisions. As a result, I imagine one of the first things any new manager will do is hold talks with Maddison.
“However, I think there are plenty of players who should be moved on by Spurs before Maddison.”
Maddison could thrive under a new manager
If reports of Maddison falling out with Postecoglou are true, it is no surprise that the 27-year-old hasn’t been at his best this season.
However, the former Leicester City man certainly possesses a lot of quality. Therefore, should Postecoglou move on, Tottenham should keep hold of Maddison to see what he can do under a different manager in North London.
