Ward-Prowse will undoubtedly be a very solid addition to Moyes’s ranks at West Ham.

His ability from set-pieces should make us a very dangerous team from free-kicks and corners.

The 28-year-old is an incredibly hard-worker and has the leadership skills that we desperately lack.

Whilst he won’t be the marquee signing that many Hammers fans hoped for, the England international will do very well at the London Stadium.

West Ham signing Ward-Prowse this summer is a step in the right direction as far as I’m concerned.
