Abstract: We study the representations of large integers $n$ as sums $p_1^2+\mathrm{...}+p_s^2$, where $p_1,\mathrm{...},p_s$ are primes with $|p_i-(n/s{)}^{1/2}|le{n}^{heta/2}$, for some fixed $heta<1$. When $s=5$ we use a sieve method to show that all sufficiently large integers $nequiv5pmod24$ can be represented in the above form for $heta>8/9$. This improves on earlier work by Liu, L"{u} and Zhan, who established a similar result for $heta>9/10$. We also obtain estimates for the number of integers $n$ satisfying the necessary local conditions but lacking representations of the above form with $s=3,4$. When $s=4$ our estimates improve and generalize recent results by L"{u} and Zhai, and when $s=3$ they appear to be first of their kind.
