Paul Merson says £40m Tottenham player has got to do more after seeing him live v Arsenal
There was plenty to pick apart from Tottenham’s performance v Arsenal yesterday and Paul Merson has called for one big signing to step up for Spurs.

And according to former Arsenal man Paul Merson, Spurs midfielder James Maddison also needs to up his game.
Paul Merson tells James Maddison to be better after Tottenham v Arsenal
Speaking on about♔ Tottenham’s issues after the game, Merson picked 𝓀up on a few points.
And one wꦛas the performances of big players, including James Maddison,💖 who he feels needs to do more.
“Some of the big players have got to step up. James Maddison wasn’t great today. He𓄧 has got to step up𒐪. He has got to be better,” Merson said.
“He is playing in a position where you have got to make things happen. I don’t personally think 🐬he did that today, and who he was playing against, it has got to better🅰.
“I am not digging him out because I am a big f꧂an of his, but I played ꦯin that position and I know what you have got to do and he needs to do better.”
Maddison has to do more
He might be former Arsenal and have a bias, but Merson makes a good point her💎e and players like James Maddison do need to do more.
signing Maddison has been pretty quiet in a To✨ttenham shirt ever since he got injured last season and at the moment, they need him firing.
As Merson says, he 🌠plays in a position that can really affect the game and at ti🅘mes yesterday, he looked like he’d gone missing a touch.
Maddison, then,𓂃 wil💟l be keen to improve and will feel like he’s got much more to give.
