Maddison key to Kane
Tottenham are already a club full of players that admire James Maddison. The 26-year-old was announced as a new Spurs player on Wednesday but the quality shown in previous seasons has benefitted him.

With just one year left to run on his contract, Kane's future is one that is of major priority for the new head coach and Daniel Levy to resolve swiftly.
