BRITTY BUBBLES IN THE AIR

Moyes has won club power battle by getting home-grown Ward-Prowse ...with Maguire and Brownhill next

- JOHN CROSS

DAVID MOYES is winning his battle to get a British backbone at West Ham.

The Hammers have completed a £30million deal with Southampton to sign England international James Ward-Prowse.

They have also agreed a £30m deal with Manchester United to sign Harry Maguire (below), who is discussing personal terms and weighing up a move to east London.

And they are clearly backing Moyes's approach with a potential move for Burnley's Josh Brownhill (below).

The Hammers have also signed Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez in a £35m deal with Ajax as the club reinvests the £105m cash from selling Declan Rice to Arsenal.

But they could also lose Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta, who is a target for Manchester City.
