He needs to learn!!Pundit &spur forced James Maddison deletes old tweets calling club superstar “Monkey”

• James Maddison set to join Tottenham
• Leicester City to pocket £45m
• Old tweets have emerged of him criticising Spurs

WHAT HAPPENED? The Leicester City star is set to complete a move to Tottenham after the Championship side accepted an offer of £40 million upfront with a potential extra £5m to be paid in add-ons. However, ahead of his transfer, fans have spotted two revealing tweets from 2012 and 2013 that have since been removed from the England international’s account – as reported by the Daily Mail. One involved him calling club legend Gareth Bale, who played 237 times for Spurs over two spells, a “monkey”, with the other saying that he disliked the north London club.

WHAT THEY SAID: On November 17, 2012, Maddison, who was 15 at the time, tweeted: “I hate Gareth Bale with a passion, calm down you monkey, [Jack] Wilshere is 10x better than you chimpanzee.”

Then, on March 10, 2013, the-then 16-year-old wrote: “Hope Luis Suarez destroys Tottenham today, don’t like Spurs! Especially that monkey everyone’s on about!”
