The Scot chased the England international for years for this purpose, only finally securing him after Southampton&#8217;s relegation to the Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Moyes feels West Ham are a team who should be top of the set-piece table. They ranked first in 2020-21, then fifth in 2021-22, then 11th in 2022-23. Now, Moyes feels his side are returning to their previous status as the Premier League&#8217;s connoisseurs of corners, thanks to Ward-Prowse&#8217;s deliveries.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/23\/00\/75748035-0-image-m-94_1695424162252.jpg\" height=\"532\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>James Ward-Prowse has contributed well to West Ham with his set pieces and playmaking<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/23\/00\/75748059-0-image-a-95_1695424230059.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>David Moyes wants his team to recover their set-piece strength after they finished top of the set-piece table in 2020\/21<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We could have scored four or five from corner kicks,&#8217; Moyes said after West Ham&#8217;s European win in midweek. &#8216;We&#8217;ve been a decent side from set pieces, maybe without the word &#8220;specialist&#8221;, but I think we&#8217;ve got a specialist now in Ward-Prowse.
