James Ward-Prowse signs for West Ham
James Ward-Prowse joins West Ham on £30m deal from Southampton.
Edson Álvarez, Ward-Prowse… now waiting to reach agreement on personal terms with Harry Maguire.
West Ham have agreed deals to sign Manchester United’s Harry Maguire and Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse. Both signings are key targets for David Moyes, who has been looking to strengthen his squad since the £105m sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal.
West Ham have moved slowly since selling Rice but business has picked up this week. They are poised to sign the Ajax midfielder Edson Álvarez for £32m and are set to make one more addition in midfield by signing Ward-Prowse for £30m.

Moyes also wants a centre-back and has convinced the board to move for Maguire. West Ham have an agreement in principle on a fee of £30m for Maguire and are due to discuss personal terms with the defender. The 30-year-old has fallen out of favour under Erik ten Hag, who has stripped of him of the captaincy, and needs to move to try to protect his England place.
