West Ham agree deals for England pair Harry Maguire and James Ward-Prowse

<p>

Harry Maguire and James Ward-Prowse have reportedly agreed personal terms with West Ham United.

</p>

<p>

Maguire remains in discussions with United about the terms of his exit from Old Trafford but the transfer, understood to be worth around £30million, is expected to go through. </p>

<p>

The Hammers are also close to announcing the £35million signing of Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez from Ajax. </p>

<p>

The 25-year-old has passed a medical but the paperwork is still being completed. </p>

<p>

Meanwhile, West Ham are understood to have knocked back an initial £60million approach from Manchester City for midfielder Lucas Paqueta. </p>

<p>

That figure is some £30million less than West Ham would entertain selling the Brazil midfielder for. </p>

<p>

However, there could be a player swap involved with Hammers boss David Moyes having long held an interest in City midfielder Kalvin Phillips. </p>

<p>

Alvarez and Phillips can both fill the position vacated by the £105million sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal. </p>

<p>

Young winger Cole Palmer, who scored in Sunday's Community Shield defeat by the Gunners, is another player admired by Moyes. </p>
