Tottenham have new transfer priority after James Maddison injury nightmare - Losing the midfielder leaves Thomas Frank short of creative options

James Maddison was carried off on a stretcher after suffering a serious-looking knee injury during Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season match against Newcastle United.
