“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.
James Maddison, the English footballer currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur, recently shared his admiration for a specific Arsenal player, expressing a hint of envy that the player isn’t on his team.
Maddison’s journey at Spurs since his move from Leicester City has been notable, contributing significantly to the team’s strong start under manager Ange Postecoglou. However, injuries to key players, including Maddison himself, have led to a slight dip in Spurs’ performance, evident in recent losses to Chelsea, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Aston Villa.
Despite these setbacks, Spurs managed to secure a respectable draw against Manchester City, thanks to goals from Son Heung-min, Giovani Lo Celso, and Dejan Kulusevski. Yet, their recent form drop has seen them slide to fifth place in the Premier League standings, contrasting sharply with Arsenal’s success.
In a candid chat with former goalkeeper Ben Foster, Maddison expressed his admiration for Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, praising his exceptional technical skills and playmaking abilities. Maddison’s longing for Rice’s presence at Spurs highlights the impact and talent the player brings to the Premier League.
Rice’s crucial role in Arsenal’s current season, alongside his consistent performances, has earned him widespread acclaim. With Mikel Arteta’s team leading the Premier League table, Rice’s contributions have been vital to Arsenal’s pursuit of trophies.
Beyond Rice, Maddison also lauded Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham, noting his strong mentality and passion for the game. Despite his youth, Bellingham’s dedication mirrors that of a seasoned Premier League player, earning respect from Maddison and others in the England squad.
As Maddison continues his journey at Tottenham Hotspur, his admiration for players like Rice and Bellingham underscores the exceptional talent in the Premier League, igniting excitement among football fans globally.
