Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur battled it out to sign an attacking midfielder in the summer of 2023, and now they could do it again in 2024.
The beginning of last summer was all about James Maddison, as Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur both vied for his signature.
It ended up being quite the saga, and it was a saga that ended with the attacking midfielder signing for Ange Postecoglou and Spurs. However, there were reports that Maddison was very keen on a move to Tyneside, only for wages to be an issue.
Fast forward 12 months and Newcastle may feel as if they could still benefit from a player like Maddison, while the 27-year-old is watching the Euros from home after failing to make Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
Newcastle have looked at signing Eberechi Eze
Maddison was snubbed by Southgate, who opted for a more in-form player in Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.
The 25-year-old has been outstanding at Selhurst Park, while Toon fans recently saw firsthand how good Eze is when England competed at St James’ Park in a pre-Euros friendly.
And there is hope that Newcastle fans could see more of Eze, with Toon officials reportedly discussing a move for him this summer.
