West Ham United should do all they can to win the race for James Ward-Prowse as the Southampton star ‘would be a great fit’ at the London Stadium, journalist Paul Brown has told GIVEMESPORT.
Although the Hammers are currently preparing for the Europa Conference League final, boss David Moyes will be looking to bolster his squad during the summer transfer window.
According to The Sun, West Ham are among four clubs looking to offer Ward-Prowse an immediate return to the Premier League.
The report suggests the Hammers are battling it out with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle United and Aston Villa for the England international’s signature, while Southampton are seeking £40million.
But Ward-Prowse’s suitors have been offered fresh hope of being able to strike a deal as Southampton director Rasmus Ankersen has admitted the south coast club will listen to offers following their relegation to the Championship.
Respected journalist Brown recently told GIVEMESPORT that the central midfielder’s arrival would soften the blow if Declan Rice leaves West Ham.
Despite dropping out of the Premier League, Southampton are in a strong negotiating position as Ward-Prowse’s £100,000-per-week contract still has three years to run.
