Tottenham target James Maddison would find it difficult to reject a move to north London, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

The attacking midfielder was linked with a switch to Spurs in the summer window, along with other Premier League clubs, but he ended up staying at Leicester.

What's the latest news involving Maddison?

According to reports back in July, Tottenham were 'seriously considering' the England international, with Antonio Conte keen on adding a No.10 to his ranks.

The Italian boss enjoyed a productive first off-season window in charge, bringing in no fewer than seven new faces, including the likes of Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison.

But Conte wasn't able to sign a playmaker and Spurs' lack of creativity has been clear to see in recent weeks, with just five goals in their last five Premier League games before the trip to Bournemouth.

However, with Maddison's deal expiring in under two years, he could be a man in demand when the market reopens for business in January.

What did Jones say about Maddison?

He told GIVEMESPORT: "I think that Maddison is one of the players that we'll be hearing about in terms of Tottenham's transfer pursuits.

"They've looked at it before, it's been a tricky one, but Maddison clearly would be interested in a transfer I think in the pretty near future, and it'd be hard to turn down a proposition like Tottenham."

How has Maddison performed this season?

Besides a recent revival, it's generally been a miserable campaign for Leicester, who've spent much of the season bottom of the Premier League.

Regardless, Maddison has been playing at an extremely high level and has been comfortably the club's standout performer.

His brilliant strike at Wolves on Sunday was his sixth top-flight goal in just 11 appearances to go with his two assists.

As a result, Maddison is averaging a goal contribution every 112 minutes, an impressive return for a midfielder.

He's already halfway towards matching his total of 12 league goals from last season and is also on course to beat his best ever league return of 14 he managed when playing for Norwich, providing he continues his recent form.

Therefore, it promises to be an intense battle for his signature in the winter, especially with his contract running down.
