“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 international, recently expressed his admiration for a particular Arsenal player, revealing a hint of envy that the said player isn’t part of Tottenham Hotspur. Maddison, who joined Spurs from Leicester City in the summer transfer window, has played a crucial role under Ange Postecoglou’s management, contributing significantly to the team’s strong start to the season. However, a series of injuries to key players, including Maddison himself, has led to a dip in Spurs’ form, evident in recent losses to Chelsea, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Aston Villa.
Despite the setbacks, Spurs managed to secure a commendable draw against Manchester City, with goals from Son Heung-min, Giovani Lo Celso, and Dejan Kulusevski. Nonetheless, their drop in form has resulted in them slipping to fifth place in the Premier League standings, in contrast to the impressive performance of their North London rivals, Arsenal.
During a candid conversation with former goalkeeper Ben Foster, Maddison revealed his admiration for Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, recognizing his exceptional technical abilities and playmaking skills. Maddison’s wistfulness over Rice’s association with Arsenal underscores the significance of the player’s impact and talent in the Premier League.
Rice’s pivotal role in Arsenal’s current campaign, along with his consistent performances on the field, has garnered widespread praise. With Mikel Arteta’s side currently leading the Premier League table by two points, Rice’s contributions have been crucial in Arsenal’s pursuit of silverware.
In addition to Rice, Maddison also praised Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, highlighting his remarkable mentality and unwavering passion for the game. Bellingham’s dedication and professionalism, despite his relatively young age, have earned him admiration from Maddison and others within the England squad.
As Maddison continues his journey at Tottenham Hotspur, his admiration for players like Rice and Bellingham underscores the exceptional talent prevalent in the Premier League, adding to the excitement of football fans worldwide.
