Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou admits James Maddison can moan with the best of them.

But he says he's delighted with Maddison's return.

Poostecoglou said: "He is exciting to watch. He's a creative player and invariably supporters love those kind of players who can do something a little bit different.

"Part of it is the way he carries himself. Madders likes to be, for want of a better term, in the spotlight. In the right way.

"He doesn't shy away from the responsibility. He's in the team to create and be a force and he embraces that, and I think our supporters enjoy to see one of their own stand up in that kind of environment. It's a combination of things, and he's just a loveable little rogue mate. Apparently.

"He doesn't mind a moan. When he was injured he wasn't great. He's a very upbeat guy and not short of a word which is not a bad thing. Characters and personalities like that are very important in a dressing room, provided they back it up on the field. For me that's always the ultimate measure, and he's more than backed it up on the field."
