“Huge upgrade” – Journalist says West Ham now have star who’s nothing like what they had before

James Ward-Prowse, a midfielder for West Ham United, has shown promise in his early years with the team. Journalist Paul Brown told GIVEMESPORT why he didn’t leave for a bigger team during the summer transfer window.

The amount of assistance Ward-Prowse has provided this season in front of goal may not have been anticipated by Hammers supporters.

West Ham United news – James Ward-Prowse

Ward-Prowse transferred from Championship team Southampton to West Ham during the summer transfer window for a price of £30 million. The England captain could not stop the Saints from being relegated from the Premier League despite leading his former team. Ward-Prowse decided to leave St Mary’s after spending his entire career on the south coast as a result.

The midfielder, who was born in Portsmouth, is best renowned for his set-piece skills, but he has demonstrated this season that he can also contribute in open play. This season, Ward-Prowse has unquestionably been one of West Ham’s top players.

Losing Declan Rice was never going to be ideal, but replacing him with Ward-Prowse and using the extra cash to bolster other areas, such as by adding players like Mohammed Kudus and Edson Alvarez, has undoubtedly improved the situation.

According to journalist Brown, who previously told GIVEMESPORT that the new signing Kudus would adore working with Ward-Prowse, it’s hard to disagree when looking at some of the creativity statistics listed above.After the impact the former Southampton midfielder had against Chelsea last month, David Moyes was all praise for him.

“James Ward -Prowse played exceptionally well, and isn’t that what we want? We seek midfielders that strive to score goals and provide assists. He’s here now, and his set-piece performance today has already changed the game. I’m overjoyed for him. He’s gotten used to his new surroundings well and presents himself well in our changing room.”

Giving them something they didn’t really have before – Paul Brown

Moyes was always going to find Ward-Prowse to be a desirable prospect because of his clear danger from set pieces. Ward-Prowse is the right choice when players like Kurt Zouma, Michail Antonio, and Tomas Soucek, to name a few, are prepared to compete for deliveries into the box.

According to Brown, Ward-Prowse has given the Hammers something they didn’t already have and is only going to get better. The writer continues that Ward-Prowse was being considered by other Premier League teams, but West Ham is now benefiting from his desire to transfer to the London Stadium. He replied in response to GIVEMESPORT…

“I think there were other clubs in the top tiers of the Premier League that could have looked at Ward-Prowse, but perhaps felt that they had enough cover in that area to make a move for him unnecessary, and West Ham have benefited from that,” said the football analyst. In the end, I believe they received a terrific bargain. He’s proven to be a crucial member of their team, which is precisely what I predicted he would be. A significant improvement in the area has given them something they didn’t really have previously, and I believe he will grow in that area and become one of their top players this year.”

West Ham was able to provide Ward-Prowse with consistent Premier League and European games after Rice left for Arsenal. Finding a team that was better suited for the English midfielder would have been challenging. The performance so far will have West Ham supporters impressed, and they will be hoping it continues throughout the season.

Is Ward-Prowse the signing of the summer?

Ward-Prowse is unquestionably among the top Premier League additions of the summer based on his immediate influence on the team. Rice and James Maddison are two more standout candidates for Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, respectively, but it goes without saying that the latter was subject to high expectations given its £105 million price tag. Ward-Prowse’s accomplishment of two goals and three assists for a deep-lying midfielder is outstanding, so even if he isn’t regarded as the summer’s top acquisition, Hammers supporters will be grateful for the contribution he has made.
