West Ham considers move for midfielder Dan Neil amid Southampton interest

Summary

Southampton is advancing on a deal for free agent midfielder Dan Neil, whose Sunderland contract ends on June 30.

After a successful loan at Ipswich Town, where he made 16 appearances, Neil is poised for a club announcement. West Ham's recruitment team has a pressing interest; failure to act could enable a rival to strengthen. Time is critical as Neil's medical is anticipated soon.
