Brentford manager Thomas Frank has heaped praise on Leicester City's James Maddison, describing the midfielder as a "top player" amid growing speculation linking him with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Danish coach, known for his tactical acumen, acknowledged Maddison's undeniable quality ahead of Brentford's clash with Leicester this weekend. "He's a fantastic player," Frank stated. "When you look at his creativity, his goals, and his ability to dictate play, it's clear why top clubs are interested."
Spurs' Midfield Reinforcements
Tottenham have reportedly identified Maddison as a prime summer target as new manager Ange Postecoglou looks to rebuild his squad. The 26-year-old England international has been one of Leicester's standout performers despite their relegation struggles this season.
Frank's comments come at an intriguing time, with many interpreting them as tacit approval of Maddison's readiness for a bigger stage. "Players of that calibre don't come around often," the Brentford boss added. "He's got that special something that changes games."
Premier League Proven Quality
Maddison's statistics speak for themselves - with 10 goals and 9 assists in a struggling Leicester side this campaign. His set-piece delivery and chance creation would address key weaknesses in Tottenham's current setup.
While Frank refused to be drawn on transfer speculation, his glowing assessment will likely fuel further rumours as Spurs prepare to test Leicester's resolve in the upcoming transfer window.
