The north London side have secured the services of the attacking midfielder for an undisclosed fee, but talkSPORT understands it will amount to £40million plus add-ons.

Maddison joins Ange Postecoglou's side after completing his medical on Wednesday.

He is Spurs' second new transfer of the summer window so far following the arrival of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli.

Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski have also signed, although they join after previous loan deals from Sporting Lisbon and Juventus respectively.

Maddison leaves Leicester after five seasons at the Foxes in which he scored 55 goals and provided 41 assists in 203 appearances.

After impressing at Norwich, he sealed the switch to the East Midlands club in 2018.

He would prove to be crucial in all of his seasons at the King Power Stadium, including their FA Cup triumph in 2021.

Maddison's final campaign at the club saw him amass ten goals and nine assists in 32 appearances.

Despite his efforts, it wasn't enough for Leicester to secure their status in the top flight as they were relegated to the Championship.

For Maddison though he will now make a return to the Premier League for next term, this time in a new era at Spurs.

The Lilywhites capped off a disappointing season with an 8th placed finish and therefore missing out on European football.

Given his attacking qualities, Maddison looks set to take Spurs' game to another level under new boss Postecoglou.

He arrives with a depth of Premier League experience and three England appearances, sealing a deserved move to a top six side.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
