Desperate to be in title race: James Maddison shares Tottenham plan for next season

James Maddison reveals Tottenham’s bold ambitions for next season, including a potential title push.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, James Maddison has insisted that the club wants to be in the mix to win the Premier League next season.

Despite having a good start to the season, Tottenham has failed to keep up with the momentum and are currently 11 points behind league leaders, Arsenal.

With European football still achievable, Maddison has set his eyes on the bigger price for next season. Speaking after Sunday’s 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest, the England international noted that it’s frustrated missing out on this season’s “amazing” title race but they (Tottenham) must be desperate to achieve huge success next season.

“I’ve got no interest to be honest. We’ve got our own goals for the season and I’m not bothered,”

“If we end up winning games against teams that are in that race, it makes no difference. We’ve got a job to do.

“We are where we are and that is something that gives us good motivation to want to be in the title race next year, seeing how good it is this year.

“For sure, that’s definitely the feeling. That’s filtered down from the manager.

“It’s annoying really, listening to three teams go at it for the title and we’re not in it, especially after the start of the season we had.

“How exciting is the title race this season? It’s amazing, it’s brilliant for a neutral. My friends and family, everyone is locked into the Premier League every week at the minute because it’s such a good title race.

“Frustrating not to be a part of that but we are where we are and we have our job to do.”

Tottenham’s victory over Forest saw them leapfrog Aston Villa on goal difference with a game in hand.
