James Maddison now have a rivalling Tottenham star for being their best summer signing – opinion

James Maddison of Tottenham Hotspur may have won the top trophy for being the division’s finest player if awards had been given out after the first few months of the Premier League season.

Spurs had a fantastic start to the season because to James Maddison’s three goals and five assists, who was outstanding under Ange Postecoglou.

James Maddison may not have been the best addition for Tottenham than Guglielmo Vicario

Nevertheless, Maddison’s injury has prevented Tottenham from playing with him since their loss to Chelsea. Furthermore, it will be some time before we see him again.

But with that, one of his colleagues has possibly accomplished something that would have appeared unthinkable a few months ago by claiming to be an even better addition from this past summer.

Guglielmo Vicario was a relatively unknown figure when he arrived in the summer. As it happened, Maddison was one of them. Before making the move, the 27-year-old had only had a few years as Serie A’s top player. Furthermore, choosing the Italian to take Hugo Lloris’ position seemed like a major risk.

Spurs’ gamble is paying off handsomely

But that bet is turning out to be really wise. Since coming, Vicario has been nothing short of amazing.

According to FBRef, Vicario has actually outperformed all goalkeepers in terms of projected goals allowed against total.

To be fair, Maddison has more shot-creating activities per ninety minutes than any other player in the Premier League (FBRef). Therefore, it is impossible to disagree with those who think Tottenham’s finest summer acquisition is still the offensive midfielder. He is undoubtedly the standout player on the squad.

However, taking into account that Maddison was almost twice as expensive as Vicario, the goalie is undoubtedly challenging him.

And considering how excellent Maddison has been, Vicario’s achievement is just astounding.
