The quantity ten’s statistics additional assist that time, as he presently boasts an output of 4 objectives and 7 assists in 22 Premier League matches.

Nevertheless, in latest weeks, his performances have sadly taken a slight hit, failing to register a purpose contribution in his final 5 video games.

With that in thoughts and the midfield creating into a difficulty, Ange Postecoglou needs to accumulate a brand new midfielder who has the potential to bolster Maddison.

Spurs’ seek for a brand new midfielder

In accordance with reviews from Turkey by way of TEAMtalk, Spurs are lining up a £17m bid for Sebastian Szymanski.

Nevertheless, the Turkish large will demand round £22m this summer time, and Spurs must be ready to battle the likes of Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen for his signature.

How Szymanski may bolster Maddison

Szymanski isn’t a reputation that lots of the Spurs trustworthy could have heard of earlier than, however the Turkish Tremendous Lig star has definitely been making waves in Europe.

The quantity 53 is a left-footed attacking midfielder who additionally has the flexibility to play barely deeper as a box-to-box quantity eight.

The Poland worldwide has been on the epicentre of Fenerbahce’s title problem, enjoying 31 league matches for a facet that’s misplaced simply as soon as this season within the Turkish prime flight.

His statistics actually do communicate for themselves, as he’s scored and assisted 9 objectives apiece within the league this season, which proves he’s capable of put the ball at the back of the web in addition to create.

The desk demonstrates how extraordinarily well-rounded the participant is, which suggests he may simply function alongside Maddison in a 4-3-3 setup in entrance of a defensive midfielder.

Szymanski is the kind of participant who’s determined to make issues occur, even taking pictures freely if the possibility presents itself. This might add one other dimension to the Spurs assault, with the profile of a box-crashing midfielder lacking within the squad.

Not like Madison, who likes to at all times be concerned within the play and get on the ball at any alternative, Szymanski likes to stretch the pitch by way of glorious motion, typically popping up in harmful areas in between the strains.

The mixture of Maddison’s creativity and the previous Feyenoord ace’s motion could possibly be a lethal mixture, doubtlessly even turning into a brand new model of the Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli partnership.

Each Dele and Eriksen had been able to enjoying beautifully properly between the strains with the previous contributing to 67 objectives and 59 assists in a Lilywhites shirt. The latter, in the meantime, was the scorer of 69 objectives at Spurs, registering an extra 90 assists. Nice work certainly from two of the best midfielders to don a Tottenham jersey.

It’s not solely within the remaining third that the “very good” Szymanski – as dubbed by soccer scout Jacek Kulig – brings to the desk, as he has an countless quantity of vitality.

This allows him to press with ease whereas additionally serving to the facet stop counterattacks, along with his 2.2 tackles and three.9 duels received supporting this.

In reality, virtually all of the artistic accountability tends to fall on the shoulders of Maddison, and signing Szymanski may simply take the stress off the quantity ten, from each a efficiency and mentality perspective.

For £22m, the midfielder looks as if an absolute cut price, and Spurs should do all they’ll to beat the competitors to his signature. Would not it’s fairly the sight to see one other model of Dele and Eriksen in north London?
