England midfielder James Maddison has completed his £40m move to Tottenham from relegated Leicester, signing a five-year contract in north London.
The 26-year-old becomes Spurs' third signing of the summer, joining Dejan Kulusevski and Guglielmo Vicario at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of next season.
Newcastle had also been interested in signing Maddison, who had only a year left on his Leicester contract, but the north east club have instead turned their focus to AC Milan's Sandro Tonali.
Bolstering Tottenham's midfield options has been a top priority ahead of Ange Postecoglou's first season in charge.
Maddison joins the club after five years at the King Power Stadium, where he played 203 games and scored 55 goals. He won the FA Cup and Community Shield while at Leicester, and netted 10 Premier League goals for the club in his final season despite their relegation.
Maddison wore the No 10 shirt for the Foxes, but that is already taken by Harry Kane at Tottenham and the new arrival has not yet been assigned a number
