West Ham United reportedly could replace Declan Rice with two players this summer – Southampton ace James Ward-Prowse and Leeds star Tyler Adams.
According to the Daily Mail, West Ham are lining up a double move to sign Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse and Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams to replace Declan Rice in the summer transfer window.

The East London outfit have recently been linked with a move to sign the 28-year-old Southampton midfielder, and the 24-year-old Leeds ace.
Hammers boss David Moyes needs to add some real quality to his engine room this summer, with Rice imminently set to join Arsenal.
And it seems as though the Scot has two players in particular in mind for the job…
West Ham eyeing double move for James Ward-Prowse and Tyler Adams to replace Declan Rice
The Mail reckon that Moyes is on the hunt to strengthen his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium, with moves for Southampton and Leeds midfielders.
The Saints are demanding around £40 million for the 28-year-old (the Daily Mail), whilst the Whites want £30 million for the America international (Leeds United News).
Both players are very solid operators, but I have to say that I would be mightily underwhelmed if they are the two midfielders who Moyes signs this summer.
I actually wouldn’t mind either of them on their own, as long as they were signed alongside an elite central midfielder – someone like Ibrahim Sangare, Khephren Thuram or Sofyan Amrabat.
There is a genuine argument to be made that if Moyes makes the correct signings this summer, the Hammers could actually improve as a team after Declan Rice leaves.
However, if West Ham sign James Ward-Prowse and Tyler Adams to replace the 24-year-old England international, I’m not sure that that would be the case.
