“I hate the fact that he plays for Arsenal, he’s a top player and deserves to play for a better club because his qualities will only waste at Arsenal”- Tottenham star James Maddison reveals ONE Arsenal player he wants was at Spurs instead of Arsenal- Not Saka, Mot Odegard, or Saliba.
English footballer James Maddison recently expressed his admiration for a particular Arsenal player, revealing a hint of envy that the player isn’t on Tottenham Hotspur’s roster. Maddison, who transferred from Leicester City to Spurs in the summer, has been a key player under manager Ange Postecoglou, contributing significantly to the team’s strong start to the season. However, injuries to key players, including Maddison himself, have led to a slight dip in Spurs’ form, evident in recent losses to Chelsea, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Aston Villa.
Despite these setbacks, Spurs managed to secure a commendable draw against Manchester City, with goals from Son Heung-min, Giovani Lo Celso, and Dejan Kulusevski. Nevertheless, their form slump has seen them slip to fifth place in the Premier League, contrasting sharply with the success of their North London rivals, Arsenal.
In a frank discussion with former goalkeeper Ben Foster, Maddison praised Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, recognizing his exceptional technical skills and playmaking abilities. Maddison’s longing for Rice’s presence at Tottenham highlights the player’s significant impact and talent in the Premier League.
Rice’s crucial role in Arsenal’s current campaign, along with his consistent performances, has earned him widespread acclaim. With Mikel Arteta’s team leading the Premier League table by two points, Rice’s contributions have been pivotal in Arsenal’s pursuit of trophies.
In addition to Rice, Maddison also lauded Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, emphasizing his remarkable mentality and unwavering passion for the game. Bellingham’s dedication and professionalism, despite his youth, have garnered admiration from Maddison and others within the England squad.
As Maddison continues his career at Tottenham Hotspur, his admiration for players like Rice and Bellingham underscores the exceptional talent prevalent in the Premier League, igniting excitement among football fans worldwide.
