Leicester ace James Maddison arrives for Spurs clash wearing £6,500 Louis Vuitton backpack

JAMES MADDISON caused a stir on social media prior to Leicester's clash against Tottenham yesterday when he walked into the King Power Stadium wearing a backpack worth over £6,500. But the Foxes ace had the last laugh with a razor sharp comeback to the online trolls afterscoring the winner against Spurs.

Maddison, 22, who has recently been linked with a switch to join Manchester United, proudly wore the Louis Vuitton Virgil Christopher Prism bag as he strutted into the dressing room.But it didn't get past BBC presenter Dan Walker who uploaded a snap of Maddison on Twitter, along with the same item on the Louis Vuitton website.

He tweeted: "Fancy that Maddison rucksack? £6500."Commenting on his post, former Spurs star Ryan Mason simply put five emojis of a monkey covering its eyes.While broadcaster Kelly Cates quipped: "Or Smiggle has a sale on."One fan joked: "£6500?!?!?! Real talk you can get an 8 year old in arts and crafts after school club to make this for a tenner."

Another added: "Looks like something my girls would carry around with their dolls in. More money than sense." A fifth simply stated:
"That is a horrific looking thing!" One wisecrack fan said: "If I’d seen this yesterday I wouldn’t have put him in my Fantasy team this week."

Maddison has started every game for the Foxes this season under Brendan Rodgers, with his form earning him a call-up to the England senior side.However, to the disappointment of most, the former Norwich star failed to make his debut in either of the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Kosovo.

It has been claimed that the Red Devils are ready to bid £60million for his services next summer, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a huge fan of the player.And it is easy to see why, with Maddison scoring a stunning winner in the 2-1 triumph over Spurs.
