Paul Merson tells Spurs to sign 100k per week midfielder in order to push for Champions League football

Paul Merson has told Tottenham Hotspur who they need to sign if they want to get back into the Champions League after next season.

Merson believes the answer to the North London sides current woes is midfielder James Ward-Prowse. 

The England set-piece specialist seems to get better every season, and is now recognised as one of, if not, the best dead-ball specialists in world football.

Ward-Prowse has proven this time and time again, accruing a high number of pinpoint deliveries from wide free-kicks and corners and scoring some stupendous efforts from dead balls.
