Nuno Espírito Santo Banishes £40m West Ham player to train with Reserves. He Wants him sold immediately

Big developments are unfolding at West Ham with Nuno Espirito Santo making a decisive call on one of his players and his exit is already being lined up.

Nuno Espirito Santo made big headlines within 48 hours of being named West Ham boss at the weekend.

The Portuguese’s decision to drop the soon-to-be 31-year-old should not have come as a massive surprise given he was manager of Forest during Ward-Prowse’s disastrous loan spell there last season.

The former Southampton captain barely featured and saw his loan cancelled six months early as Potter brought him back to east London in January.

But Nuno’s decision to leave him out of the Hammers squad altogether for the 1-1 draw at Everton has raised eyebrows.

Some have labelled it harsh, but Nuno said it was best for the team and revealed after the game he had spoken to the player and thinks he understands the situation.
Hammers fans loved that Nuno immediately used Academy graduate Potts in his first game, bringing him on with great success as he played a big part in West Ham getting a positive result.

Nuno puts West Ham star Ward-Prowse on gardening leave

The bold Ward-Prowse call has raised questions over what will happen next given there are still three months until the January transfer window opens.

Now Nuno has put the West Ham star on gardening leave as Will Still asks for a Saints favour.

According to Give Me Sport, the new Hammers boss has now informed Ward-Prowse there is no way back for him at the London Stadium.
In fact, Ward-Prowse will be banished away from the first team squad until January, when he will be leaving with old club Saints already enquiring.

The report claims that Ward-Prowse will discover in the next few days what his new daily routine will look like from now on.

Hammers News can reveal that particular deal appeals to the West Ham hierarchy.

Saints boss Will Still, a lifelong Hammers fan who has admitted it is his dream to manage the club one day, is looking to bring in more quality as he tries to get the south coast club back in the Premier League.

While Ward-Prowse’s already limited powers in open play at the top level have diminished significantly, there is no doubt he could do a job in the Championship.
