In advance of the NLD, Ange Postecoglou praises the 26-year-old Tottenham star, calling him “a top player.”

Ange Postecoglou has been speaking to Gary Lineker for the BBC and has sung the praises of some of his players.

The former Celtic boss has made a huge impression on things at Tottenham. And ahead of the NLD this weekend, Postecoglou will be hoping his players can continue to build on their fine start.

One of the keys to to Spurs’ success this season has been James Maddison, and Postecoglou has been singing the praises of the England man.

Ange Postecoglou praises James Maddison’s impact at Tottenham

Maddison has had a massive impact on this Tottenham side and he’s already a fan favourite thanks to his goals, assists, and attitude on the pitch.

And speaking to Gary Lineker for the BBC, Spurs boss Postecoglou was full of praise for Maddison.

“It was a zero risk signing because he’s a top player. I could see that. But what I’ve been really pleased with is how he’s embraced the whole club,” Postecoglou said.

“And it’s important because there’s always a bit of a hangover from the guys who were here last year. Irrespective of circumstances, it’s a drain on you as a person when you have such a difficult year. You need the guys coming in and be like ‘I wasn’t part of that’. He’s walked in here seen the facilities and been like ‘this is unbelievable’. I made him on

the leaders and he’s embraced that role. I’m no genius for picking him out as a player. He’s got that quality where as the ball’s arriving you’re thinking something is going to happen.”

Madison appears to be one of the league’s top purchases thus far right now for any team. He looks absolutely fantastic and has adapted to Spurs like a duck to water.

He has undoubtedly had a profound impact on Postecoglou and other Tottenham employees. Yet you have the impression that there is yet more to come, which is worrying for others.

At his current pace, Maddison may wind up earning a starting berth for England, and if he does, Spurs will probably have a successful season.
