On May 1, Beijing time, the “Daily Star” reported on the headlines that Southampton midfielder Ward-Prowse has become the target of many Premier League teams this summer, including Manchester United and Manchester City. Twins.
Ward-Prowse is 27 years old and plays as a defensive midfielder and a central midfielder. As a midfielder, Ward-Prowse has strong offensive ability. He has scored 10 goals and 8 assists in 39 games this season, including 9 goals and 5 assists in 33 Premier League games. Behind Mount and Smith-Rowe, the midfielder ranked fourth in scoring, tied with Manchester United’s B fee.
The “Daily Star” said that Manchester United will look for two new midfielders this summer, and Ward-Prowse is one of them, but the Red Devils will face competition from rivals Manchester City. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has long admired the England international, describing Ward-Prowse as the best set-piece specialist in football earlier this season. Ward-Prowse scored twice in a 2-2 draw with Brighton last weekend, with four of his nine Premier League goals coming from direct free-kicks. In the history of the Premier League, Ward-Prowse is second only to Beckham in set-piece scoring.
Ward-Prowse also has a great physical strength. He is a veritable B2B player. While doing a good job of defending as a defensive midfielder, Ward-Prowse can also create opportunities and score on the offensive end. In addition, Ward-Prowse rarely misses games due to injury, which is also a big draw for any team looking to sign him.
In addition to the Manchester City duo, Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle are also very concerned about Ward-Prowse. Villa tried to poach corners with an offer of 25 million pounds last summer, but unfortunately failed. The “Daily Star” said that if you want to take Ward-Prowse, you need to spend 60 million pounds to let Southampton let go. In the German “transfer market”, Ward-Prowse is currently worth 28.8 million pounds.
