Southampton re-sign former captain Ward-Prowse

Southampton have completed a deal to re-sign James Ward-Prowse from West Ham United. The midfielder returns to the club he captained and spent the bulk of his career with. Ward-Prowse, a product of Southampton's academy, left for West Ham in 2023. He is back now as the club push for promotion back to the top flight. The move brings one of their most influential players full circle, with his set-piece quality a big part of what made him a fan favourite at St Mary's.
