James Maddison has been discussing his current form for Tottenham Hotspur and admits he is not quite playing at the level he wants, but insists he is close to getting back to his best for the Lilywhites.

A summer signing from Leicester City, James Maddison arrived at Spurs with a lot of hype. As we approach the end of the season, it’s safe to say that the England international has lived up to those early-season expectations.

The playmaker was named as one of Ange Postecoglou‘s vice-captains before the campaign began, and has repaid that faith with a number of key attacking contributions this term. Maddison has four goals and seven assists in 21 Premier League appearances this year (Transfermarkt).

James Maddison wants to keep improving

Unfortunately, a big chunk of the season was lost for Maddison, who suffered a long-term ankle injury back in November that kept him out of action until the end of January.

While the 27-year-old has been steadily building his fitness and offering more in games, he still feels he has been some way off his best. But, that is about to change soon.

He told Express and Star: “I am very critical of myself. Maybe [I’m] not at the heights that won me player of the month at the start of the season, but I am so hungry and so critical of myself to work hard to try and get back to that level. I am not too far away, I feel good.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Maddison hasn’t been playing badly at all, but he’s certainly not been as impactful or as sharp as he was in those first ten games this season. That’s understandable, but hopefully, he can hit his stride in these last few games and get us some really important points from some tough matches.
