DANIEL LEVY joked that James Maddison must stop driving a red car into Tottenham training.
The Spurs chairman took part in fans’ forum at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last night.
Levy, 61, was in attendance alongside manager Ange Postecoglou and Son Heung-min, as well as new women’s team boss Robert Vilahamn and skipper Beth England.
During the Q&A, Levy was congratulated for his summer acquisition of Maddison from Leicester.
At this point, the Tottenham chief quipped that the 26-year-old must stop driving to training in a red car – due to Spurs’ fierce rivalry with Arsenal.
He said: “James needs to learn that he can’t come to the training ground in a red car. I’ve told him. He’ll learn.”
