"So he's definitely somebody who will be on their radar and if he does become available, they're going to be among those looking to bring him in. He's not been in the side at West Ham and the manager doesn't seem to rate him, but maybe he needs a fresh start, and Everton would be willing to provide that for him."
"Looking at it from the outside, I'm not sure he's what Everton need at the moment. He's a good passer of the ball, but they've got a couple of those, I don't think he offers enough out of possession to do a job in that team. But he's a Premier League player in a position Everton want to strengthen, and he's available for what I expect would be a reasonable price, so it wouldn't surprise me."
Everton are preparing for January transfer activity with David Moyes targeting midfield reinforcements and identifying James Ward-Prowse as a potential option. Moyes previously signed Ward-Prowse during his time at West Ham and is familiar with his attributes. Ward-Prowse is currently out of the West Ham starting lineup and appears to be out of favour, making a January exit likely. Ward-Prowse offers Premier League experience and strong passing ability, but there are concerns about his contribution out of possession. Everton view him as a plausible squad option available at a reasonable price.
