Report: Premier League Club Set to Make Deadline Day Bid for ‘World-Class’ West Ham Player

Southampton is reportedly interested in signing Danny Ings from West Ham, as the striker is among several players who might leave the east London club before the transfer deadline tonight.

The 32-year-old seems not to be part of Julen Lopetegui’s plans for the season.

Another potential departure from West Ham is James Ward-Prowse.

The England international may leave the London Stadium just a year after joining from Southampton. The Saints are considering bringing their former captain back to the south coast of England.

According to GiveMeSport, Southampton might make an offer for Ward-Prowse before the transfer window closes tonight.

The West Ham midfielder is expected to leave Lopetegui’s squad, and a return to his boyhood club could provide Ward-Prowse with an opportunity to help Southampton, under Russell Martin, fight for Premier League survival.

The Saints are also close to signing Aaron Ramsdale, showing their ambition to strengthen the squad to avoid relegation.

Re-signing Ward-Prowse could be a significant move for Southampton, especially with West Ham open to selling the 29-year-old on the final day of the transfer window.

The return of their former captain would add quality and experience to the team as they aim to remain a steady presence in the Premier League.

The final day of the transfer window is notoriously unpredictable, with last-minute deals often taking place behind the scenes.

Ward-Prowse’s return to Southampton is one such deal that could be finalized today, with both the player and clubs seemingly eager to make it happen.

Given his talent, Ward-Prowse is unlikely to want to spend a season on West Ham’s bench.

A potential return to Southampton, where he began his career, presents a logical move for the midfielder, making a deadline day transfer back to his former club a realistic possibility.
