James Ward-Prowse has reportedly been told that he can leave Southampton this summer if the club are relegated from the Premier League.
The Southampton captain has spent his entire career to date at St Mary’s, but there is interest in him from Newcastle, while Tottenham and West Ham have also been linked with him, according to talkSPORT.
Southampton are bottom of the Premier League and are four points adrift of safety with just seven games remaining.
Ruben Selles’ side take on league leaders Arsenal away next and face a major test if they are to preserve their top flight status.
If they are relegated then Ward-Prowse, who has earned a reputation as a free-kick specialist, certainly wouldn’t be short of potential suitors.
