Hoddle: Spurs need to sign 'special player'

QPR coach Glenn Hoddle believes former club Tottenham lack a "special player".

Hoddle, who made 377 appearances for Spurs during a 12-year stay at White Hart Lane before managing the club between 2001-03, feels a few new players could lead to a decent run of form which could see them break into the top four.

"He may want to bring in some fresh people. Whether Daniel (Levy, the chairman) is going to be up for that remains to be seen," Hoddle told Press Association Sport.

"It is very difficult nowadays. There is a lack of world class strikers and midfield players which control the game, express themselves and that is what I think they miss. They have some good players but they don't have a special player."
