Hammers on course to sign England duo Maguire and Ward-Prowse
LONDON, Aug 9 — Premier League side West Ham have agreed deals in principle to sign England internationals Harry Maguire and James Ward-Prowse,
according to British media reports.
The UK’s Press Association said today that Manchester United defender Maguire, 30, and Southampton midfielder Ward-Prowse, 28,
had agreed personal
terms with last season’s Europa Conference League champions.
Maguire, however, remains in talks with United about the exact terms of his departure from Old Trafford but a move worth an estimated £30 million
(RM175 million) is expected to be completed.
West Ham — who will compete in the Europa League this term — are also said to be close to announcing the £35 million signing of
Mexico midfielder
Edson Alvarez from Ajax.
The 25-year-old has passed a medical but the paperwork on his move from the Dutch giants has still to be completed.
Alvarez could fill the position vacated by the £105 million sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal. — AFP

‘He doesn’t want to be here’: Roy Hodgson shares that Crystal Palace player linked away is ‘refusing to play’
Crystal Palace have already had a few big departures this summer and now Roy Hodgson has shared that one player is refusing to play.
Many of the older and more experienced players, including Wilfried Zaha, Luka Milivojevic and James McArthur have left Crystal Palace.
More so, star winger Michael Olise is currently injured. Therefore, having players refusing to play at the club which is already light in numbers is not helpful.
Roy Hodgson has shared that Vicente Guaita, a player who has been reportedly attracting interest, is refusing to play in order to force a move.
Vicente Guaita refusing to play for Crystal Palace
Hodgson was asked by a reporter from Viaplay if Sam Johnstone is the number one goalkeeper. The Palace manager said: “He’s the only one at the moment. Guaita is disenchanted with the club. He’s made it clear that he would like to move on and he’s refusing to play.
“It’s up to the club to decide, not him, but the current situation is that he’s made it clear to everybody that he doesn’t want to be here and compete with Sam Johnstone.
“There are probably many clubs around the world with lots of players who would rather leave than stay but the fact is that when you sign a contract with a club, you basically commit yourself to what’s needed at that club.
