Reports suggest that Southampton is bracing themselves for a potential bid from West Ham United for midfielder, James Ward-Prowse.
That’s according to a recent report from the Daily Mail, who claims the Saints are expecting the Hammers to offer £20 million for the England international – just half the club’s valuation.
Ward-Prowse has been an integral figure for Southampton, demonstrating exceptional leadership skills and a keen eye for set pieces. The midfielder’s pinpoint accuracy in dead-ball situations and tireless work ethic have earned him a reputation as one of the finest playmakers in the country. Consequently, and unsurprisingly, his performances have not gone unnoticed by other clubs, with West Ham seemingly keen on securing his services.
However, the Hammers’ reported bid of £20 million falls significantly short of Southampton’s valuation, leaving the Saints in a difficult position. They value their prized asset at double the amount, reflecting his importance to the team and his potential for further growth.
Set to sell Romeo Lavia amid interest from Liverpool and Arsenal, Southampton, following last season’s relegation are in line to lose their two best players. The club’s biggest hurdle will now be to extract maximum value.
West Ham must think it is the 1st of April if that is what they are prepared to offer!
Do West Spam think they can offer £20 million because it’s Amazon Prime day ? .
It’s a joke surely!! and they are not a Premiership
Big Club , they could well be amongst the struggling teams this coming season, without
Declan Rice they’ll be lost , he single handedly
got them outta the 💩on numerous occasions
last season they were lucky not to be where the
Saints are now.
JWP is worth at least double what they are offering , The Saints need to ignore such a derisory offer , I’m not so sure JWP will leave anyway, he’s a Southern boy who must have a brilliant lifestyle in a beautiful part of the country
and on £100 grand a week why would you want to
uproot your family , for just possibly one season?.
Stay James and enjoy the glory days which are bound to return to Saints who are a Premiership Club who have vacated the Top league temporarily.
COYR, STID , TDLIUE 😇👍🏼
As a West Ham fan I have to agree with a lot of your sentiments. I wouldn’t swap living in the New Forest for the traffic and fumes of the east end of London.
There are some lovely areas in Essex but traveling to the training ground comes into play. Without Rice and playing two games a week I can’t see anything but another relegation battle. Moyse is far too negative and Ward Prowse won’t fit anyway.
Haha enjoy the chumpionship 😂
Saints to lose their 2 best players? If you think Ward-Prowse, otherwise known as “Crab” and “Scuttler” was one of the best you didn’t see many matches. Master of the 40 metre dash back to the half way line to receive a pass from the centre back, then pass the ball back to where it came from. One trick pony, which is why the Big Seven aren;t interested, but give us a chunk of that Rice money please.
Once upon a time you could name your team players it with so much up and downing and rotation of the players I can’t name all of spurs it’s team and I’ve been a fan since 1961 . Mind you we used to have uk managers
Now a lot of overseas bods
so it looks like saints are going to sale cheap jwp is worth more than 20million
