James Ward-Prowse has completed his £30m move from Southampton to West Ham.

The midfielder brings to an end a 20-year spell on the south coast, having joined Southampton from the age of eight.

He joins the Hammers on a four-year contract until June 2027.

"I'm buzzing to be here at West Ham United. It's great to be here and I'm looking forward to getting going," said Ward-Prowse, who is West Ham's second summer signing following Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez.

"From the outside looking in, this is a Club that has been on the rise for a number of years now and coming off the success in the UEFA Europa Conference League last year, you can feel there is real momentum around this Club. It's great to be a part of it and I can't wait to play my role in the games to come.
