Confirmation that West Ham are trying to sign brilliantly gifted midfielder

West Ham United could ‘try to accelerate’ a move for Southampton star James Ward-Prowse, Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has claimed.

The transfer window has been open for weeks now and so far – the Hammers are still the only side in the Premier League to not sign players that will add to the squad.

However – over the past few days there has been movement in the transfer market for the Hammers and they have started opening talks, making offers and trying to get some stars brought in.

That has led to reports that Ward-Prowse is a player that West Ham are very keen to sign this transfer window and have already made a £25 million offer, which is alot less than the £50 million that the Saints want

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID – 

Sheth now feels Saints’ relegation has made a move to the London Stadium more likely as their valuation of the 28-year-old is expected to reduce.

Sheth told GIVEMESPORT: “Keep an eye out on James Ward-Prowse. I think West Ham United will probably try to accelerate and push for a deal to get James Ward-Prowse.

“He is someone that they’ve tried to sign in previous transfer windows, but I think the price has been prohibitive.

“I just wonder whether that price would be more accepting now that Southampton are in the Championship. That’s definitely one to keep an eye on because there is definite interest. West Ham are looking at a whole host of midfielders.”

WILL JWP BE A GOOD SIGNING FOR THE HAMMERS?

James Ward-Prowse is a player that should be in the Premier League – he has the ability to play for one of the top six sides in the English game – but has been so loyal to Southampton that he has missed out on that opportunity.

West Ham would be getting a very gifted player that is a brilliant leader – and in return Ward-Prowse would be joining a side that has the quality to make it into those European places – if they can put the results together.

It would be a very good move for him and West Ham to make that is for sure.
