James Ward-Prowse says he wants to break David Beckham's record of 18 free-kick goals - particularly if it means he might get to meet his childhood hero.
"My main motivation is to meet my hero who I loved when I was growing up," Ward-Prowse said.
"If I do get that record, hopefully he'll reach out - but there's a long way to go just yet."
Ward-Prowse has now scored four from direct free-kicks this season - the same as last year - with only Beckham (2000-01) and Laurent Robert (2001-02) scoring five in a single Premier League campaign.
