Despite hefty transfer spending, one of the world’s most valuable squads, a European Cup triumph 12 months ago and a promising league start, the historic English club Tottenham Hotspur is surprisingly slipping towards relegation.

Tottenham star James Maddison has taken to social media to address concerns regarding his physical condition after a club video of him working out in the gym went viral. The England international has been sidelined for over eight months following a devastating ACL injury sustained during a pre-season tour.

Tottenham boss Igor Tudor has revealed he is hoping for a "nice surprise" when it comes to the availability of James Maddison and Mohammed Kudus before the end of the season. The two first-team stars are nursing long-term injury issues but, with Spurs locked in a serious relegation battle, Tudor has revealed they may well boost the north London club's survival hopes before the campaign is out.

James Maddison dressed his eldest son, Leo, up in a Jude Bellingham Real Madrid kit. In a pair of wholesome snapshots taken at home, Maddison's boy throws his arms wide in pure, unfiltered delight while wearing a blue Real Madrid third strip, complete with the midfielder’s name and the iconic No.5 plastered across the back.
