Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly admirers of the Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse.
A report from 90 Min claims that the North London club look to make a move for the 28-year-old central midfielder at the end of the season.
Southampton are currently fighting for their survival in the top flight, and Ward-Prowse could look to move on at the end of the season if the Saints go down to the Championship. The 28-year-old has been a reliable performer for Southampton over the years and he will want to continue in the Premier League beyond the season.
Tottenham could certainly use more quality and depth in the middle of the park and Ward-Prowse would be a quality acquisition. The 28-year-old will add craft and vision in the middle of the park.
Apart from his ability to create opportunities for his teammates, the 28-year-old is likely to chip in with goals as well. In addition to that, Ward-Prowse is an exceptional free-kick taker and he is closing in on a Premier League record.
David Beckham has scored the most number of goals from free kicks with 18 and Ward-Prowse has 17 to his name so far.
The opportunity to play for Tottenham will be an attractive option for the experienced Premier League star and it would be a step up in his career.
The report from 90 min claims that Southampton a prepared to sell their star midfielder for a fee of around £50 million and it remains to be seen whether Spurs are prepared to fork out that kind of money for him.
There is no doubt that the 28-year-old is a proven performer in the English top-flight, but the reported asking price seems quite steep and Tottenham could struggle to afford him unless Southampton decide to lower their demands.
