‘He’s got the personality’ – Fabregas admits he is a big fan of Tottenham star
Cesc Fabregas has lavished praise on James Maddison, claiming that the Spurs midfielder has the talent and personality to regularly make a difference in key moments.
Maddison had an outstanding start to the season after his switch to Spurs last summer and was arguably the best player in the Premier League during the first three months of the campaign.
However, the 27-year-old subsequently suffered an ankle injury that put him out of action for almost three months and while Maddison has not consistently hit the same heights since his return to fitness, he is starting to get back to his previous levels over recent weeks.
The England international delivered what was arguably one of his finest performances in a Spurs shirt in Tottenham’s 4-0 win at Villa Park, with some pundits waxing lyrical about the former Leicester man for the way he dominated the midfield battle (Garth Crooks –BBC Sport). Unfortunately, the same could not be said after the game against Fulham.

Fabregas, who knows a thing or two about what it takes to succeed in the number eight/ten position in the Premier League, has now described Maddison as a ‘complete player’.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal man told Planet Premier League Podcast (as relayed by The Metro): “Straight away you could feel he’s got the confidence. He’s got the personality to demand the ball, to make things happen and to create situations.
“He’s good at dribbling, he is good at assisting and he can score goals. So he’s a really complete player in my opinion. He has a good understanding with Son and the strikers and for me, he’s a fantastic player to have.
“And as a coach, I’m sure that you need to adapt to the strengths of your players and the better quality they have, the easier it is. And definitely, he is one of them you would always want in your team.”

As Fabregas identifies correctly, what sets Maddison apart is not just his ability but also his personality. The 27-year-old demands the ball from his teammates and one can tell that he relishes the opportunity to perform on the big stage.
