Daniel Levy is keen to sign James Maddison after watching him line up alongside Kane for England

Daniel Levy is interested in signing James Maddison from Leicester City during the summer transfer window.

The Foxes’ cunning midfield maestro, also a target for Newcastle, is a player Spurs want to sign no matter who their next manager is after Antonio Conte’s departure.

There were glimpses of what the 26-year-old can do alongside Harry Kane when they lined up for England against Ukraine last month and that creative sense of adventure has been sorely lacking at Spurs.

Former Tottenham heartthrob Glenn Hoddle is a longtime advocate of signing Maddison and the club’s hierarchy is ready to deliver.

That won’t meet the fans’ demands, of course, and there’s still no guarantee Kane will stay at Tottenham this summer.

Tottenham have wanted Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace for the last two windows and will try again this summer.

A top-tier goalkeeper like Brentford’s David Raya is also required. Described by Jurgen Klopp as a goalkeeper who “could wear the number 10 shirt”, Raya is in demand and is keeping his options open, which will be music to the ears of his former club Blackburn, who have a sell-out clause. .

Tottenham is also in need of a new manager after Conte left the club by mutual consent last month.

Conte’s number 2 Cristian Stellini took over as interim head coach, while Ryan Mason took over as assistant.
