West Ham<\/a> midfielder James Ward-Prowse is expected to undergo a medical with Burnley<\/a> on Wednesday as he closes in on a loan move.<\/p>\n

Ward-Prowse, 31, joined the Hammers<\/a> from Southampton in August 2023 and has made 78 appearances.<\/p>\n

The England international was loaned to Nottingham Forest<\/a> for the 2024-25 season and played 10 times under then manager Nuno Espirito Santo, but the deal was cut short during the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n

He was a regular under former West Ham<\/a> manager Graham Potter and made six appearances this season before Potter was sacked in September.<\/p>\n

Ward-Prowse has not played a single minute of football since Nuno was brought in at West Ham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Burnley<\/a> sit 19th in the Premier League and are 10 points from safety following Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Tottenham<\/a>. The 18th-placed Hammers are five points above the Clarets.<\/p>\n

Burnley<\/a> manager Scott Parker brought in 18-year-old defender Cameron Scott from Rangers earlier this month but is looking to add experience with Ward-Prowse.<\/p>\n

Ward-Prowse came through Southampton’s academy and made 410 appearances before leaving for West Ham<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse is expected to undergo a medical with Burnley on Wednesday as he closes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268380,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-268379","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268379\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
