      The unveiling video showed the playmaker playing darts
      Tottenham announced the signing with a not-so-cryptic tweet.
      The short video posted showed a Spurs shirt hanging up in the dressing room before a so-called mystery person picked up three darts from a towel.
      Maddison is a huge darts fan and has regularly been spotted at Ally Pally for the PDC World Championships.
      But the video did not explicitly mention Maddison, prompting some witty replies from some fans.

      One said: “Don’t tell me we’ve signed Eric Bristow to play left-sided centre-back.”
      Another joked: “Let’s hope we haven’t signed Micheal van Gerwen.”
      And a third added: “Raymond van Barneveld is fully Coys.”
      But the official confirmation followed shortly after at 9pm, with Tottenham tweeting: “Welcome, @Madders10!” with the full video of a smiling Maddison landing a bullseye on the darts board before posing for the camera.

      Maddison – who was forced to delete old tweets slamming Spurs – spent five years at the King Power, scoring 55 goals in 203 games, and leaves as a three-cap senior England international as well as an FA Cup and Community Shield winner.
      However, following Leicester’s shock relegation, it was a matter of when, not if, he left the East Midlands club to return to the Premier League.
      Leicester were keen to wrap up a deal sooner rather than later in order to reinvest the money as part of their major squad overhaul – with Conor Coady and Harry Winks set to join Enzo Maresca’s side in the Championship.
      The Foxes initially wanted to hold out for £60m and hoped a bidding war between Tottenham and Newcastle would bump up the price.
      However, SunSport revealed the Toon’s interest had cooled – paving the way for Spurs to seal the deal.
      Maddison follows Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario through the door at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of Ange Postecoglou’s first season in charge.
      Dejan Kulusevski has also made his loan deal permanent for £26m while Pedro Porro will do the same for £39m this week.

      “He’s not going to want to go to Germany – he’s not taking his family over there, not a chance.
      “So if he stays here, unless you go to Manchester City, you’re not guaranteed to win anything.
      “You could go to Man Utd and not win anything. You can go to Chelsea or anywhere else you want to go. At the moment, City are winning everything.

      He slammed Spurs in a since deleted post
      But before finalising the move Maddison has been forced to go back through his old tweets and delete those bashing the club.
      In two tweets from 2012 and 2013 the then 16-year-old Maddison had a pop at former Tottenham player Gareth Bale and revealed his dislike for the club.
      The first tweet from 2012 read: “I hate Gareth Bale with a passion, calm down you monkey, [Jack] Wilshere is 10x better than you chimpanzee.”
      And in another, from March 2013, Maddison posted: “Hope Luis Suarez destroys Tottenham today, don’t like Spurs! Especially that monkey everyone’s on about!”

      Maddison was part of Coventry’s youth team at the time of the tweets, which re-surfaced thanks to eagle-eyed fans.
      But they are no longer available on his account along with every other tweet before 2019.
      The England international, 26, has agreed terms with Spurs worth an estimated £170,000 a week.
      And Leicester have now caved on the transfer fee with Tottenham set to pay the Foxes £40m for Maddison’s services.

      The two clubs are now believed to be finalising details on how the payment will be structured, as well as the add-ons involved.
      Spurs have pushed through the move before July 1 to comply with FFP regulations.
      The money behind this goes against last season’s Champions League and Prem pot. They of course failed to make Europe at all for the upcoming campaign.
      He will become the second new face to arrive at the North Londoners this summer, following Tuesday’s signing of Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. More

      “Still, though. Give me the keys and a sat nav and off I’ll go.”
      Shearer has the record along with a Prem title, which he won at Blackburn in 1994/95.

      Returning Spurs star Rodon faces a crunch summer under Ange Postecoglou after disappointing loan

      by

      JOE RODON faces a crunch summer at Tottenham but Wales want a say in the next step of his career path.The Spurs defender, 25, will return to Hotspur Way for pre-season under new boss Ange Postecoglou on the back of a poor season-long loan spell with Rennes in Ligue 1.

      Rodon made 21 appearances for the French club – but only seven of those came after last November’s World Cup.
      Rennes did not take up the option of signing the ex-Swansea centre-back in a £18million permanent deal.
      And that has left his club future uncertain as ex-Celtic chief Postecoglou takes over in North London.
      Rodon has been a mainstay for Wales and the 37-cap star performed well against Croatia and Latvia in March despite his club woes.

      But the defender looked off the pace in an error-strewn display in this month’s 4-2 Euro 2024 qualifying humiliation at home to Armenia as a lack of regular football caught up with him.
      Rodon produced a better display in the 2-0 loss in Turkey as Wales played with ten men for 59 minutes following Joe Morrell’s red card.
      Now a decision needs to be made in the coming weeks on his club home for next season.
      Wales boss Robert Page said: “He will want to play games because I know him as a character. He’ll want to play week in, week out.

      “That’s up to the club now. I’d imagine he will do a pre-season there and then they will make a decision on what’s best for him next year.
      “If we can have a little bit of input in that then great.”
      Rodon joined Spurs in an initial £11million deal, rising to £15million, from Swansea in October 2020. More
