Tottenham Hotspur’s midfielder James Maddison has clinched the Premier League Player of the Month for August.

Since his high-profile move from Leicester City during the summer transfer window, Maddison has wasted no time making a significant impact at his new club.

Notably, he was swiftly appointed one of the vice-captains at Spurs, a testament to the leadership qualities he brings to the team. Furthermore, he stepped into the revered number 10 shirt, previously worn by Harry Kane, who made a transfer to Bayern Munich.

Maddison’s performances on the pitch have been equally remarkable. 

In his early days at Tottenham, under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou, he demonstrated his playmaking prowess. During their first outing of the season against Brentford, Maddison provided two crucial assists in a thrilling 2-2 draw. 

Just a fortnight later, he showcased his goal-scoring ability by netting the opener in a 2-0 victory against Bournemouth.

His most standout moment came when he played a pivotal role in Spurs’ impressive 2-0 win against Manchester United at their home ground.

Maddison’s recognition as Premier League Player of the Month for August reflects his outstanding contributions to his new club.

Among the competitors for this prestigious accolade were notable players such as Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi, West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, Brighton & Hove Albion’s Kaoru Mitoma, and Manchester City’s Rodri.
