West Ham targets Everton winger Dwight McNeil for July transfer

Summary

West Ham is reportedly interested in signing Dwight McNeil from Everton as the club prepares for a rebuild in the Championship this summer. McNeil, 26, is expected to leave Everton after a January transfer to Crystal Palace collapsed. With doubts surrounding Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville's futures at the club, West Ham seeks reinforcements on the wing. Although there has been no official approach for McNeil yet, discussions about recruitment will involve new director of player recruitment Nils Koppen and head coach Nuno Espirito Santo. McNeil has made 128 appearances for Everton since joining from Burnley in 2022 but struggled for game time in the previous season.
