Pundit explains why he could take James Maddison over Martin Odegaard – Spurs Web – Tottenham Hotspur Football News
Jermaine Jenas continues to heap praise on James Maddison, claiming the midfielder has “transformed” Tottenham Hotspur since joining the club in the summer.
Signed to fill Tottenham’s creative void, James Maddison has done just that and then some.
Spurs are certainly in the running under new manager Ange Postecoglou and are currently top of the Premier League table. Maddison was a key factor in that success.
The 26-year-old already has five assists this season (Transfermarkt) and has formed an excellent partnership with Spurs captain Heung-min Son. Many have argued that Maddison has replaced Harry Kane at Spurs, not necessarily in terms of goals, but as the Lilywhites’ talismanic player.

Maddison switched to Tottenham Hotspur
Comparisons have also been drawn between Maddison and his Arsenal counterpart Martin Odegaard, with Jermaine Jenas and Darren Bent debating who will end the season with more goals (talkSPORT).
Bent recently doubled down on his claim that Odegaard is the better player (talkSPORT). Now Jenas did the same to Maddison. Speaking to TNT Sports, Jenas said: “I spoke to an Arsenal fan recently who was around Odegaard and James Maddison. The guy said ‘you’d always take Odegaard over Maddison’ and I’m like ‘why?’ “. I’m. not so convinced.
“Odegaard is a special talent, just like James Maddison. It’s more about how he [Maddison] single-handedly changed the team. That’s Spurs’ biggest fear, Maddison’s fitness and maintaining it all year, because you take him from the team. , it looks like different. “He’s a top-level talent who will be a world-class talent as soon as he hits the stage.”
Spur online opinion
The thought of James Maddison getting injured is scary. He has quickly become one of, if not the most important player at the club and we really don’t have another player like him. Right now he is better than Odegaard.
