Premier League team interested in signing James Ward Prowse

Recently, it was revealed that West Ham want to sell star midfielder James Ward Prowse in this transfer window. Although the 29-year-old midfielder is one of the best set piece specialists in the Premier League, he doesn't create much goal scoring chances from the build up play. Therefore, the Hammers are negotiating with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Carlos Soler this summer.

Soler is a box-to-box midfielder with great passing, who will bring a lot of quality and depth in the West Ham squad. Hence, West Ham are trying to sell Ward Prowse for £25 million, to make way for Soler in the midfield. Ward Prowse joined West Ham from Southampton for £30 million and may return to his former team in this transfer window.

Now, according to Football Insider, Premier League team Nottingham Forest are interested in signing James Ward Prowse this summer. Forest want more Premier League experience in their squad as they want to aim for a mid table finish this season. Therefore, Forest view Ward Prowse as a creative box-to-box midfielder having a lot of experience playing in the English top Flight.

Last season, Ward Prowse made around 50 appearances for the Hammers, scoring seven goals and providing eleven assists as well. On top of that, Ward Prowse scores a lot of goals from set piece chances, making him a quality option for any Premier League side. Now, it remains to be seen whether Forest decide to sign Ward Prowse with only four days remaining in this transfer window.

Meanwhile, West Ham want to complete the signing of Carlos Soler and will face Bournemouth in the FA Cup match as well.
