Newcastle are now the 9/4 favourites to sign Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse this Summer
Newcastle are the new favourites in the betting market to sign Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse in the Summer transfer window following reports linking him with a move.
The latest market move with UK betting sites has the Toon as the favourites after sources told Football Insider that the club are ready to battle Premier League rivals for the midfielder.
Paddy Power say there's a 30% chance of Newcastle signing the player in the Summer according to their latest betting market which has them above Tottenham.
| James Ward-Prowse Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Newcastle | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Tottenham | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Aston Villa | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Crystal Palace | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Ward-Prowse has long been a consistent figure in the Premier League with the Saints but he might be looking to leave if the club get relegated at the end of the season.
It's safe to say there will be a whole host of potential suitors for the player if he was looking to leave his club in the Summer window.
Tottenham also been linked with signing the player and they are 9/2 second favourites
Other reports this week have suggested that Tottenham captain Harry Kane would give out positives if asked for his opinion on a transfer for Ward-Prowse.
Journalist Pete O'Rourke told GIVEMESPORT that, "if they asked for Kane's input into a potential move for Ward-Prowse it would only get positives".
The Saints captain is reportedly earning £100,000 a week at St Mary's so wages wouldn't be a problem for Spurs and his set pieces would be perfect for a team with Harry Kane up top.

Southampton are the 1/2 favourites to be relegated from the Premier League this season
As always bookmakers are giving odds for the relegation battle in the Premier League and it's Ward-Prowse's Southampton side who are the current favourites to go down this year.
The latest betting odds put them as the 1/2 favourites to be relegated just ahead of Bournemouth in the market but the league table is a tight on this season.
Just 5 points separate bottom side Southampton with 12th place Crystal Palace and a good run of wins would put the Saints back above the drop-zone.
Their 0-0 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United at the weekend will only give them confidence going into the crunch time of the season.
