Latest reports suggest that James Ward Prowse was offered the chance to return to St Mary's on loan, but as turned down a chance of coming back to St Mary's or of going to Everton in preference of joining Nottingham Forest.
givemesport.com are reporting that James Ward Prowse is set for a medical at Nottingham Forest.
After being told he was surplus to requirements at West ham, he was told he could leave on loan, Southampton, Everton and Nottingham Forest were keen, but with the decision lying with the player as to who he could choose, it seems that he has snubbed a return to Southampton and opted for the East midlands.
It is also said that Southampton are extremely disappointed as they thought they were in pole position and hat plans had been changed specially to secure his services on a loan agreement and that involved taking Aaron Ramsdale permanently instead of on a temporary basis.
It will be a real blow to Saints supporters who considered him one of their own and would have hoped that sentiment would play a bigger part in his decision than it actually has.
