Tottenham Hotspur legend Micky Hazard believes James Maddison can make the team ‘tick’ just like Harry Kane used to, and thinks people should not write Spurs off just yet.
It has been a summer of change for Tottenham, with new manager Ange Postecoglou coming in and bringing with him, a return to the attacking, exciting style of football fans have missed over the last couple of years.
Though the club is now having to adjust to life without Harry Kane since his move to Bayern Munich, it is not all doom and gloom. Far from it, in fact.
The Lilywhites began the new Premier League campaign with an enthralling 2-2 draw away at Brentford, and showed plenty of promise for the season ahead.
One of the bright sparks in that game was James Maddison, making his competitive debut for Spurs and crowning a strong performance with two assists for his new team.
The playmaker joined Tottenham in a deal worth a reported £40m (Sky Sports), and has quickly become a fan favourite, as well as a leader in the dressing room. Maddison was named as the club’s new vice-captain recently, and wore the armband for the first time in the game against Brentford.
James Maddison can be a superstar for Spurs
When one door closes, another opens, and Micky Hazard thinks Maddison can step up and fill that void left behind by Harry Kane.
Hazard told FourFourTwo: “The loss of Harry Kane would hurt any team. Nobody can lose a player of quality. But this is where the other players have to step up to the plate because it’s an opportunity for someone else to become the next superstar.
“James Maddison is a very good footballer. In his first game, I thought he played so well. And I think he will only get better as the team gets better because that was the first game and it was very, very good. Lots of things that I really liked.
“He can be the creative centre of the team, making the team tick. Just like Kane did. It’s very promising. I’m very happy with the way Spurs are right now. Ange looks like a very logical man, with a tough streak. People are writing Spurs off but they should think again.”
Spurs Web Opinion
It has certainly been a promising start for Maddison at Spurs and we know how good he can be when he really starts firing on all cylinders. It’s a new era for Tottenham now, and Maddison is the perfect player to carry us forward now Kane has gone.
