Hammers Ward-Prowse talks continue
West Ham are still in talks with Southampton for James Ward-Prowse.
And the manager has now become aware that the player is keen on the move and is busy trying to reach a compromise on price with the relegated Saints.
Ward-Prowse may even become the new skipper should the move go through but thus far we have stuck to the £25 million offer made a few days back.
The 28 year old has captained the Saints for many years and with no natural replacement within the squad for Declan Rice he could easily become the next player to wear the claret and blue armband.
But before any of that happens the Irons have to arrive at price which is reasonable for a player of his age as explained to us exclusively by our major source.
He said: We are in talks but have to bring down the price to a sensible level for a 28 year old.”
