Arsenal hero Ray Parlour admits Tottenham have made this year's signing of the summer.

Despite his Gunners roots, Parlour rates James Maddison as the best signing made for season 2023/24 - with West Ham United's James Ward-Prowse a close second.

Parlour told Mighty Tips: "For me, and I'm going by the money as well, for what they paid for him, one is certainly James Maddison.

"I think Spurs have got a real gem on their hands now, I'm really pleased he's back in England squad.

"I like players like him because he's not always strait-laced, some people are ticking the boxes now, but I want to see flair players and players doing something different, so I think James Madison will really be a big star at Tottenham, I certainly believe that.

"And another one who always gives 100% whenever I've seen him play, he always does his shifts, is James Ward-Prowse.

"I think West Ham had the right result there, because you know he's a genuine player.

"You know he's going to give everything, and I'm sure they're going to score a lot more from set pieces this season with his deliveries.

"I really like what he's done so far - I think he played really well at Brighton, and he's a good solid player in the England squad, which he deserves.

"So, I think West Ham have got a real steal there, so they'd be my two signings of the summer definitely."
