According to a new report from Sky Sports, English Premier League side West Ham United are considering selling their English midfielder James Ward-Prowse this summer. The news has attracted a lot of attention from fans and media, after all, Ward-Prowse has been an indispensable part of West Ham United's midfield since he moved from Southampton last summer.
Ward-Prowse is 29 years old and in the prime of his career. Last season, he appeared in 51 matches for West Ham United, including 45 starts, showing great attendance and consistency. On the offensive end, Ward-Prowse contributed 7 goals and 11 assists, and was an important part of the team's offensive system. His accurate and wide-open passing, often delivering deadly passes to his teammates, is an important source of creativity in West Ham United's midfield.
However, West Ham United do not seem to have completely ruled out the possibility of selling Ward-Prowse despite the important role he plays in the team. According to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, the West Ham United management is open to a move for Ward-Prowse and is willing to listen to offers from other clubs. This does not mean that West Ham United are in a hurry to sell the midfielder, but want to make a more reasonable plan for the future of the team at the right time and price.
Ward-Prowse did not get a chance to play in West Ham United's game against Crystal Palace on Saturday. This change may have also sparked speculation about his future. Although West Ham United have emphasized that they are not actively seeking to sell Ward-Prowse, the player's own position and role in the team seems to be undergoing a subtle change.
Ultimately, Ward-Prowse's future will be decided by the player himself and the West Ham United management. He still has three years left on his contract with the team, which provides him with enough stability and options. However, in the world of soccer, anything can happen. For Ward-Prowse, he needs to carefully consider his career plan in the coming time and make a choice that is in his best interest. As for West Ham United, they also need to carefully weigh the pros and cons and make a wise decision for the future of the team.
