Jamie Carragher overlooked both Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland when naming his player of the Premier League season so far.
as his player of the season so far, after he bagged his first home goal for new club Tottenham on Monday.The midfielder has scored three times and provided five assists in the top-flight, helping the north London side reach the summit of the table.
"I think he has been that influential in that change at Spurs. Credit has to go to the manager because it’s philosophy and his style of play, but he’s been a major part of that," Carragher told Sky Sports."He took the number 10, that was Harry Kane ’s shirt, probably the greatest player to play for Tottenham. I think at one stage he had the captain’s armband. He’s just that type of personality and you mention about taking that step up and going to a bigger club.
Wolves manager Gary O'Neil couldn't help but agree with Carragher's comments, having played alongside Maddison at Norwich. "There was no doubt in his mind he was going to be the best player. He had the ability to back it up. You do see lads that are overconfident and maybe a little bit arrogant, but James was not that. He had an unbelievable belief in his ability and a work ethic to match it."
