James Maddison outperformed Martin Odegaard and will force Tottenham to change formation

As Conte's infamous reign in north London entered its final weeks and the wing-backs failed to have the desired effect, Spurs' season ground to a halt that meant they not only missed out on a top-four spot, but failed to even make the Europa League and Conference League. Maddison's exit was inevitable and Spurs are certainly going to benefit immeasurably from his arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Maddison ranked tenth for key passes in the Premier League last season, while compared to Spurs' current crop, Son Heung-Min came closest to matching the former Norwich man.
