James Ward-Prowse makes his bow on the @FIVE__YARDS platform on Friday.

We thought you might like to know why @andywatsonsport, with a little help from the team, has pitched his price at £23m.
If Southampton remain at their current level and JWP continues to be an ever present then he’ll probably earn around £3m a season in performance pay (13 wins 4 goals and 6 assists)

The #SaintsFC man looks set to have his best season yet:

👕10 ⚽️4 🅰️2
The two big unknowns are

• How long can he stay at Southampton’s level?

• Will he step up to a higher level?

At 26 he might have 6-8 years left at his current level given his position and style of play. Is that enough time to make a move to a Champions League club? 🏆
Being English definitely makes him a more attractive option for the Big 6.

But, a long-term contract with the Saints until 2025, makes a move unlikely.

7 more seasons earning £3m with £2m added to represent his recent form and possibility of moving

= our evaluation of £23m
Think our evaluation is wrong? ❌

Think JWP will earn a move to a top side? ✍️

Think his form will continue to improve? 📈

Think his price will rise? 💰

That’s what it’s all about. And he’s available to buy from tomorrow. 🔜

See you there. 👋
