Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse insists he has not given much thought to what might come next for him after the Saints’ relegation to the Championship was confirmed on Saturday afternoon.
The England midfielder has been persistently linked with a transfer move to Newcastle United over the past few months – among other clubs – and Southampton’s loss of Premier League status could precipitate a bidding war to secure Ward-Prowse’s services.
With Euro 2024 coming up at the end of next season, the 28 year old will presumably be keen to be in Gareth Southgate’s plans, and the Three Lions boss has previously been reluctant to consider outfielders plying their trade outside top-flight leagues.
