JAMES WARD-PROWSE
Midfielder · Southampton · Championship
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
J. Ward-Prowse remains a deep midfielder with real utility, but his value is tempered by an uncertain starting role and the league-level discount attached to his profile. West Ham showed his most convincing recent form, yet he is past his most typical peak window.
