Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison has made fun of his own teammate Son Heung-min as well as Arsenal star Bukayo Saka’s darts skills.
The 26-year-old is having an amazing season for Spurs. He is loving life in North London, and Tottenham fans are not just in love with his performances but also his celebrations – especially the one where he pretends to throw a dart.
Tottenham’s James Maddison makes fun of Arsenal star Bukayo Saka’s dart-throwing skills
It is no secret at this point that Tottenham star James Maddison is a huge fan of darts.
The Englishman takes his football seriously, but it looks like he’s very attentive to the way people throw – or pretend to throw – darts too.
We all remember how Arsenal star Bukayo Saka mocked Maddison by copying his darts celebration in the North London derby earlier this season.
Maddison wasn’t impressed then, and he has had his say on Saka again – this time, his Tottenham skipper Son has received some friendly criticism too.
After the win over Fulham last night, Jamie Carragher asked Maddison on Sky Sports to talk everyone through the darts celebration that he did with Son.
When asked if his skipper’s action is worse than the Arsenal man’s, Maddison joked: “Sonny and Saka have got similar actions – nowhere near good enough to be at a board.”
“The first day he came in he said ‘pressing high is almost a non negotiable at any stage of the game'”

Arsenal’s Saka vs Tottenham’s Maddison
James Maddison has been one of the best players in the Premier League since he joined Tottenham before the start of this season.
The Englishman has scored three goals and provided five assists, and he is arguably the biggest reason why Spurs are unbeaten and at the top of the Premier League table.
Saka hasn’t quite been at his best this season and he has been struggling with injuries and niggles too. However, Arsenal fans will be glad to know that he’s still outperforming Maddison.
The 22-year-old Gunner has five goals and six assists to his name already. That’s an outrageous return when you consider he hasn’t been his usual self this season. Once he’s back to his best, he really could go on to have his best-ever campaign.
