James Ward-Prowse is set to leave Southampton to join West Ham TODAY, and could be followed out the exit door by Armel Bella-Kotchap... as the Saints look to seal loan moves for Flynn Downes and Mason Holgate

Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse will complete his £30m move to West Ham today.

Ward-Prowse will depart his boyhood club having scored 55 goals in 410 appearances.

He is set to become the second midfield signing for West Ham in a matter of days after the Irons wrapped up a deal for Ajax's Edson Alvarez last week.

Southampton could also lose promising defender Armel Bella-Kotchap in the coming days.

The German international is in talks with Borussia Dortmund about a return to his homeland following Southampton's relegation from the Premier League last term.
