Jermain Defoe says James Maddison is the most underestimated player in the league
He appointed James Maddison as the most underestimated player in the league, saying that when he plays for Tottenham, he immediately improves the team. He added that in his best shape, it is good enough to play for England.
Speaking LivecoreHe said:
“Maybe James Maddison, you know. I think when we see when he plays the qualities he brings for Tottenham.
“I would just love to see him again in the England team and try to be part of the England team. He missed the euros, which was obviously disappointing for him, but I think that the best version of James Maddison can play for England. ”
Maddison time in Tottenham
Maddison joined the Spurs in 2023 with the reputation of one of the best field circles in the League following its constant performance for Leicester City over the years.
Signed for 40m, he had an instant impact on the Spurs, marking 3 and helping 5 in his first 10 games. However, injuries have derailed his season, forcing him to miss 2 months of action. His form after his return was not the same, which made him miss from the Gareth Southgate team for the euros.
This season, he has found regular playing time difficult. Angel Postcoglou used it as a team player, having started only 17 on the 27 championship games, leaving the bench in 10.
However, each time he played, he had a visible impact, leaving some fans of spurs frustrated by the lack of playing time given in the midfield. This resulted in speculation according to which Maddison experienced a break with the manager.
Despite the limited playing time, the “brilliant” Spurs player scored 11 and helped 7 in 38 games all competitions. This represents 18 goals and aids in 25 departures, which is excellent for someone who is not supposed to be in his best form.
