James Ward-Prowse

Reports from October 2025 suggested the player's Estimated Transfer Value had dropped to €7.7 million, with West Ham reportedly resigned to a large loss on the fee they paid. It was also noted in January 2026 that a loan move would cost an interested club over €2.3 million just to cover his wages for the remainder of the season. The key historical fee mentioned is his August 2023 transfer from Southampton to West Ham for €34.8 million.

Our valuation for James Ward-Prowse is driven by the significant decline from his €34.8 million transfer in 2023. His current situation—being out of favour at West Ham, having high wages, a recent loan to a relegated club, and entering the final year of his contract—heavily discounts his value. The estimate is anchored by a reported Estimated Transfer Value of €7.7 million in late 2025, adjusted downwards to reflect his circumstances since then.
