Kapital FM 92.9 The Station that Rocks!
West Ham United have agreed deals for Manchester United’s former captain Harry Maguire and Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse worth about £60m in total.
Each deal is thought to be worth in the region of £30m.
Maguire, 30, struggled for first-team opportunities at Old Trafford last season and was stripped off the captaincy this season.
He is understood to be keen on the move with personal terms yet to be agreed but not expected to be a problem.
Maguire joined United in August 2019 for a record fee of £80m for a defender.
The Hammers have also been trying to sign Ward-Prowse for much of the summer but Southampton, who were relegated to the Championship last season, had rejected their advances until this point.
However, it has appeared inevitable that Southampton would lose their captain and that now seems set to happen.
Nottingham Forest Sign Arsenal Goalkeeper

Turner has established himself as the USA’s number one and played throughout the recent Gold Cup campaign when they reached the semi-final stage.

Wolves Name Former Bournemouth Boss Lopetegui As Successor
Former Bournemouth boss Gary O’Neil has been announced as the new manager of Wolves, replacing Julen Lopetegui on a three-year deal.
Lopetegui’s exit from Molineux was confirmed on Tuesday – just three days before the 2023-24 Premier League season begins.
O’Neil led Bournemouth to 15th last season but was sacked on 19 June.
The 40-year-old is Wolves’ fourth manager in just over two years.
His first assignment will come on Monday when Wolves travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
Iniesta Joins United Arab Emirates Pro League Side
Former Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has signed with United Arab Emirates Pro League side Emirates Club.
The Spaniard left Japanese side Vissel Kobe midway through the J-League season on 1 July.
The 39-year-old made 134 appearances for the Japanese club, winning the domestic Emperor’s Cup in 2019 and the Japanese Super Cup the following year.
Emirates Club, who won promotion to the UAE top flight last season, posted “welcome Iniesta” on social media.
Iniesta moved to Japan after a 22-year career at Barcelona, where he won 32 trophies and made 674 senior appearances.
