West Ham CONFIRM £30m signing of England midfielder James Ward-Prowse from Southampton on a four-year contract

West Ham have completed the £30million signing of England midfielder James Ward-Prowse from Southampton.

Ward-Prowse, 28, departs his boyhood club in the wake of their relegation from the Premier League, having scored 55 goals in 410 appearances.

He will link up with David Moyes at the London Stadium as the Hammers compensate for the departure of star midfielder Declan Rice to Arsenal.

They also completed the signing of Ajax's Edson Alvarez for £35.4m last week.

Ward-Prowse will wear the No 7 shirt and has signed a contract until June 2027.
