Considering the favourable bowling conditions at Lord's, London Spirit will be happy to pick up a new-ball specialist in David Willey.
No bowler in the history of the Men's Hundred has has taken more wickets in the first 25 balls of the innings than David Willey's 24 wickets.
He also adds some batting depth and variety, as a left-hander with the bat and left-armer with the ball.
Tier 1 spin bowlers up next:

Manchester Super Giants signing Gus Atkinson has played just eight Hundred matches so far, taking 10 wickets at an average of 22 while conceding at 1.67 runs per ball.
Along with injury concerns, the England international's availability could be questionable with Test duties often preceding the Hundred, hence a slightly lower price than expected of £70,000.
Shadab Khan is the second Pakistani player to come up in today's auction.
And just like Haris Rauf earlier this morning, Khan goes unsold in the first stage of the auction
He previously played for Birmingham Phoenix in the 2023 Hundred.
Gus Atkinson has been with Oval Invincibles since 2022 but he will make his way up north after signing for Manchester Super Giants in a £70,000 deal.

Tom Curran returns to the Oval for £260,000 and brings with him a stellar Hundred record - with the bat he's striking at 171 while averaging 35 and with the ball he's taken 40 wickets at an average of just 24.
He's one of very few genuine all-rounders, on average impacting 24 deliveries a match in the Hundred with either bat or ball.

Saqib Mahmood makes his way up to Birmingham Phoenix for £150,000 to become their first frontline bowler signing.
In T20s since the start of 2024, Saqib has taken 25 powerplay wickets at an average of 21 while conceding at just 1.35 runs per ball.
Injuries have been a persistent problem for Saqib Mahmood and could explain his slightly lower price, he's made just 18 Hundred appearances to date.
