Recently acquired by West Ham United, James Ward-Prowse has indicated his excitement about reuniting with Danny Ings. James Ward-Prowse made these remarks during his appearance on the Iron Cast Podcast. Shortly after his transfer to the London Stadium was finalized.
Following the departure of Declan Rice to Arsenal at the beginning of the transfer period, David Moyes and Tim Steidten have been diligently striving to find a suitable replacement for the English talent.
Their efforts in the transfer market have culminated in the acquisition of Edson Alvarez from Ajax.
Although he was not part of the lineup against Bournemouth last Saturday, there’s a possibility he might share the field with another newcomer in the upcoming weekend.
After an extended period of being in association with the Southampton captain. James Ward-Prowse has at last completed his transfer.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Ward-Prowse has openly conveyed his eagerness to reunite with Danny Ings at West Ham.
The £15 million-valued forward could potentially assume a significant role in the club’s imminent season.
James Ward-Prowse and his abilities
Anticipating a partnership with Ings, Ward-Prowse mentioned, “Yeah, Ingsy’s an amazing personality. Naturally, it was disappointing when he departed Southampton. He brings a wonderful character and lively camaraderie to the changing room, so I’m genuinely looking forward to reuniting.”
The task of finding the net might pose a challenge for West Ham as they approach the upcoming season, given their limited attacking additions. Their reliance on an exceptional goal by Jarrod Bowen to secure a draw against Bournemouth underscores their need for offensive options. Bowen might even find himself occupying the role of a center-forward during the season.
Gianluca Scamacca’s departure to Atalanta after a year and the potential exit of Michail Antonio have been noted. Consequently, Danny Ings could find himself vying for a starting position, possibly against the young talent Divin Mubama, who has showcased his abilities during the summer.
The prospect of Ward-Prowse providing set-piece deliveries to players like Ings is sure to generate excitement among West Ham supporters. Should he manage to enhance the team’s scoring prowess, he will undoubtedly receive a warm reception at the London Stadium.
