Burnley are closing in on a loan move for West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse, who is set to undergo a medical at Turf Moor this week. The 31-year-old England international has made 78 appearances for the Hammers since joining from Southampton in August last year but has struggled to find form under new manager Graham Potter, making just six appearances before Potter was sacked in September.
Ward-Prowse was loaned out to Nottingham Forest earlier this season but his time at the City Ground came to an end during the winter transfer window. Now, he is expected to bring experience and depth to a Burnley side that sit 19th in the Premier League, with Scott Parker's team just 10 points from safety.
Burnley manager Parker has brought in young defender Cameron Scott from Rangers in recent days but is now looking for someone with more experience like Ward-Prowse. The loan move would be a significant boost to the Clarets' hopes of avoiding relegation.
