‘Getting closer’: Journalist shares huge turnaround in West Ham’s move for ‘unbelievable’ player
West Ham United are once again getting closer with their move for 28-year-old Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse.
That’s according to journalist who shared the update on .
Steinberg provided the Ward-Prowse update after sharing some less savoury news regarding Manchester City’s interest in Lucas Paqueta.
However, on Ward-Prowse : “On a brighter note West Ham are getting closer to a deal for James Ward-Prowse.”
This news comes as something of a turnaround given that West Ham’s move for Ward-Prowse looked to be off .
It’s a slightly unsettling time as a West Ham fan right now and therefore all positive updates will likely be welcomed with open arms.
Bids for the likes of Ward-Prowse, Scott McTominay and Conor Gallagher have all been deemed as potential replacements for Declan Rice.
However, with speculation over Paqueta’s as well, West Ham fans now have another issue to worry about.
The lack of direction and clarity at the club this summer has been quite remarkable, especially after winning a European trophy last season.
This fresh optimism over a West Ham move for Ward-Prowse feels particularly timely, and fans will hope a deal can be concluded promptly.
Ward-Prowse’s move to West Ham is back on after big turnaround
Such is the length of this saga, Ward-Prowse has now started his new league season with Southampton.
The midfielder captained his side and played the full game in a late 2-1 win against Sheffield Wednesday last Friday.
And with West Ham opening their league campaign away to Bournemouth on Saturday, things would need to move quickly for him to be a Hammer by then.
Although the resurgence of this move is definitely a positive for the club, they simply can’t stop there.
West Ham’s squad looks worryingly light in several areas and they have not sufficiently replaced Declan Rice in any respect.
They’ve lost a leader and a player with outstanding ability on the pitch.
A move for Ward-Prowse seems a good start for West Ham, but they can’t rest yet.
