Eric Dier says he wants to take more free-kicks for Tottenham

Son wouldn't get the height over the wall. It's a unique skill.

Based on what insight? I think he’d be better than Kane.

And, he’d have a unique approach (if he chooses to) in that the GK would not be sure which foot he was going to use!

This is one area we are weak in without a doubt, we could do with a decent free kick specialist, as we could most probably add on at least another 10-15 goals a season.

Really wouldn't be that many. Warde-Prowse is considered the best free kick taker around at the moment and he has 4 goals and 1 assist from free kicks and 2 assists from corners. Last season he did the same but got more assist from a corner.

A free kick specialist is usually a good set piece taker from corners, and you are right, Ward-Prowse gets a number of assists from corners too. The thrust of my comments was meant to also include goals from all set pieces including corners. Aside from our goal from a corner in the NLD, that is another area we need to and can improve on for goals, so I believe the acqusition of a really good set piece taker would do this for free kicks and corners.
