James Maddison has given an insight into life under Ange Postecoglou and his coaching team at Tottenham after opening up on the Australian’s training sessions

James Maddison will very much be in the spotlight after sealing a move to the north London club from Leicester City. Speaking on The Diary Room on SPURSPLAY as part of the pre-season tour, the England international gave an insight into what training is like under Postecoglou and also discussed the impact of fellow coaches Chris Davies, Mile Jedinak, Ryan Mason and Matt Wells.

“The way the gaffer talks and the way he wants us to play is very clear and that shows in what he wants from the training sessions,” said Maddison. “Chris Davies, his assistant coach, I know very well from my time at Leicester, we worked together for nearly five years.

“And then getting to know the other coaches as well, nobody is stood on the side as they’re all involved and all taking parts of training. It has been high intensity and good quality, that’s all you can ask for really.”

Maddison and his new teammates are certainly enjoying the training sessions in Australia put on by the coaching staff.

“It was all good,” he added when asked about the first training session in Australia. “We’ve got the full squad back together now, Sonny and Skippy joined up today so we’ve got the full squad in the building. It was good fun.

“We got a welcoming ceremony off some of the locals – a traditional thing here in Australia – which was very new to me. The squad is all here, first training in the bank and the lads are happy.”

“Sometimes as a new player, it can be very difficult going into a new changing room. For me, personally, I’ve always tried to make sure if there is a new player how would I want to feel if it’s me…and this time it is me.”

Man U In Three Players Swap Deal As Club Forfeits Financial Boost

AC Milan will consider three Manchester United players as part of a swap deal for Rafael Leao, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The outlet claim that United have already made contact with agents over a potential deal for Leao this summer, but their first choice target is Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers.

 

However, Leao could be an easier deal to do, with Milan now ready to listen to offers for the winger. The Italian side are reportedly asking for around €50 million (£43.3m) but their interest in three United players could possibly lead to a swap deal.

Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte and Marcus Rashford are all mentioned. All three players are expected to leave Old Trafford this summer.

Zirkzee has struggled to make an impact since his move from Bologna, while Rashford has spent the season on loan with Barcelona. The Spanish side have the option to make the move permanent for £26 million but they are looking less and less likely to trigger it.

United could therefore be looking for sale in the summer. Using him as part of a swap for Leao could be seen as a solution.

United have forfeited a financial boost from a friendly against RB Leipzig. Sky Germany report that as part of the agreement between the two sides over striker Benjamin Sesko, a friendly match must be played.

But instead of United financially benefitting from the game, Leipzig will instead receive all of the revenue. It’s reported that the game must be played within the ‘next few years’.

United completed a deal for Sesko last summer, paying a fee of around £66.3million. However, Sky Germany report that it is now set to rise to £74 million with add-ons.

It’s claimed that there will be around £3.5 million in bonuses for things such as appearances, goals and Champions League qualification.

In his first season with the club, Sesko has scored 11 times, in 31 appearances in all competitions. He scored what turned out to be the winning goal in Monday night’s win over Brentford.

Barca Pissed As Yamal Caught In All Night Romp With Strange Model

Recently, Barcelona’s young star Lamine Yamal has once again found himself embroiled in off-field controversy. Just days after the defeat in the Clásico, on Monday local time last week, he was photographed travelling to Milan with several friends.

 

According to renowned paparazzo Jordi Martín, Yamal attended a party with a prominent Italian model during his trip and spent the night with her – a woman who is not his current girlfriend. Rumours suggest Yamal had previously shared an ambiguous relationship with this model before he began dating his current partner.

During his stay in Milan, Yamal attended a party with a prominent model who was not his current girlfriend Nicki Nicole. It is understood that this model, Anna Gegnoso, is Italian and rumoured to have had a prior romantic connection with Yamal before his relationship with Nicki Nicole began.

According to the photographer, Yamal first attended the party with Anna that evening before the pair spent the night together at Milan’s Armani Hotel – an incident that would undoubtedly displease Nicki Nicole should it prove true. Furthermore, Yamal and his accompanying friends deliberately obstructed media personnel from capturing photographs and footage at the scene.

Jordi Martin further disclosed that this behaviour has provoked considerable displeasure among Barcelona’s club hierarchy. They have grown weary of Yamal’s lifestyle. Several weeks prior, whilst injured, he flew to Croatia for a holiday with Nicki Nicole, publicly sharing photos of their trip on social media – an act that already drew criticism.

This latest incident – reportedly flying to Milan for revelry within hours of the Clásico defeat – has only exacerbated the situation. Particularly given his lacklustre performance against Real Madrid, he now finds himself dominating headlines for off-field reasons.

These successive off-field incidents, coupled with his earlier controversial remarks about Real Madrid at an event, have increasingly raised concerns within Barcelona’s ranks. Club officials fear he is becoming increasingly overwhelmed by this “noise,” drifting away from his core focus on football
