Technical director opposes move for Southampton midfielderBids for João Palhinha, Gallagher and Maguire have also failed
West Ham’s move for James Ward-Prowse is on the brink of falling apart because the club’s new technical director, Tim Steidten, opposes David Moyes’s attempts to sign the Southampton midfielder.
Tension has grown between Moyes and Steidten, who was appointed last month, and West Ham are yet to make any signings. They want two midfielders after the £105m sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal and have had three bids for Ward-Prowse turned down.
