James Ward-Prowse Sees Arsenal Win as West Ham’s Turning Point
James Ward-Prowse is back at West Ham, and he’s making it clear—he’s got unfinished business. After a frustrating loan spell at Nottingham Forest, the midfielder returned just in time to make his first Premier League start of the season. And what a return it was! West Ham’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates wasn’t just another win—it could be the moment that sparks their season to life.
Speaking after the match, Ward-Prowse didn’t hold back his excitement. “It’s not been the greatest period recently, but sometimes you just need that one result, that one performance, to turn things around. I think we’ve had that today,” he said. And he’s not wrong. Beating a title-chasing Arsenal side in their own backyard is no small feat. It’s the kind of result that can shift momentum, boost confidence, and reignite a team’s belief in themselves.

For Ward-Prowse, this game was more than just three points. It was a statement. He played the full 90 minutes, proving he’s still got the quality and determination that made him a key player when he first joined West Ham. With Graham Potter now at the helm, there’s a renewed energy in the squad. Ward-Prowse admitted he’d heard great things about Potter from his teammates before his return, and now, after experiencing it firsthand, he’s fully on board. “A new manager always brings a fresh start. He’s clear about what he wants, training has been enjoyable, and there’s a real sense of purpose in the team,” he shared.
His journey hasn’t been easy. After a strong first season at West Ham, he was surprisingly sent out on loan by former boss Julen Lopetegui. His time at Forest didn’t go as planned—limited appearances, a lack of consistent minutes, and a feeling that his career was drifting. But now, he’s back where he belongs, with a chance to prove himself once again. “I’ve still got a lot to do and a lot to prove,” he admitted. But he’s embracing that challenge head-on.
West Ham’s victory over Arsenal wasn’t just about tactics or luck—it was about grit, teamwork, and a desire to fight for every ball. “To win at the Emirates, you need a game plan, you need hard work, and sometimes you need a bit of luck. We had all three,” Ward-Prowse said. And with Leicester City up next, he’s already looking ahead, eager to build on this success and help push the team up the table.
For West Ham fans, seeing Ward-Prowse back in the team and playing with passion is a huge boost. His leadership, set-piece ability, and relentless work ethic could be exactly what the Hammers need to finish the season strong. One thing’s for sure—he’s not taking this second chance for granted. West Ham’s forgotten man? Not anymore. Ward-Prowse is back, and he’s ready to make a difference.
