James Maddison, Tottenham
20 May 2026
James Maddison admitted Tottenham’s relegation battle is embarrassing as the club prepares for a final-day survival decider against Everton. Spurs sit just two points above West Ham after losing 2-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Maddison said the squad must accept responsibility and avoid repeating past failures in the biggest moments. The midfielder is also managing his fitness carefully after returning from injury, with Tottenham’s Premier League future still at risk.
