‘For me,’ Jermain Defoe feels Tottenham have made a better signing than Declan Rice to Arsenal.
The transfer market has now been closed for a month, giving us plenty of time to reflect on the greatest and worst signings of the previous window
Dominik Szoboszlai and Declan Rice appear like Liverpool and Arsenal stars, respectively, but Andre Onana and Kai Havertz will need to improve to justify their high prices.
However, Jermain Defoe believes that one signing stands out above the rest as the signing of the summer this time around.
Indeed, speaking on the Kelly and Wrighty Show, Defoe picked Tottenham’s James Maddison as his summer signing, ahead of Rice and Szoboszlai.
Maddison’s summer signing
Defoe spoke in on the Tottenham midfielder.
“What pleases me are the performances; watching the games is exciting.” “You mentioned Bissouma and obviously Maddison has come in, for me, he has been the best signing of the summer, I think once he gets on the ball, he’s the trigger for players to come alive now, the manager has done an incredible job,” Defoe stated.
Thus far, so good.
It’s difficult to disagree with Defoe here.
Indeed, so far, so good for Maddison at Tottenham.
He has yet to lose a game for Spurs, and he was named August Premier League Player of the Month for his outstanding start at his new club.
Of course, it’s difficult to declare a clear Signing of the Summer after only a few games, but if you had to make an early judgment, Maddison would undoubtedly be the best of the lot.
