James Maddison will not forget this year in a hurry at Tottenham.

Of course, it isn’t for the right reasons, with Maddison ruled out with a ruptured ACL from pre-season, with the possibility that he may not be seen at all during this campaign.

Mohammed Kudus has stepped up in his absence since signing from West Ham, but the Ghana international is also now injured.

With attacking options dropping like flies, Thomas Frank needs new signings before 2 February.

So far, it has been reshuffling loans that have taken up the majority of the time during the first week of the window at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

James Maddison waves goodbye as Tottenham exit confirmed

Maddison is the heart and soul of the Tottenham dressing room; that is very clear.

Everyone has positive things to say about the England international, and it is no surprise, given his attitude to every last figure around the North London club.

Yang Min-Hyeok is the latest example of that.

Yang has officially joined Coventry City on loan for the rest of the season, with his initial switch to Portsmouth cut short by all parties.

Upon joining his former club, Maddison sent Yang a message on Instagram.

He wrote: “Let’s go, Yang! What a city and what a club, I told you that in pre-season.

“Good luck, mate.”

James Maddison’s record at Coventry City

Tottenham will be desperate to welcome Maddison back, with Yang also making that quite clear after labelling him a Coventry legend in response.

But, just how did the England star perform there?

Starting his career at the Coventry Building Society Arena, Maddison only played 42 times before his move to Norwich really kick-started his career.

Five goals and five assists later, he then started the journey which would take him to Leicester and eventually to Spurs.

If Yang can get anywhere close to those numbers in his career, he would certainly leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a modern-day legend.

For now, he will concentrate on helping Coventry secure promotion to the Premier League.
