West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old English midfielder Dan Neil from Sunderland.
According to a report by Football Insider, West Ham are hoping to sign Dan Neil, and Sunderland are prepared to sanction his departure in the winter transfer window.
Neil is not a key player for Sunderland, and it does not make sense for them to keep the player at the club. They are hoping to sanction his departure, and it remains to be seen whether both clubs can get the deal done.
The 24-year-old will be desperate for game time, and West Ham might be able to provide him with more opportunities. The Hammers are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and they need more quality in the middle of the park. Signing the Sunderland midfielder could be a wise decision for them.
January move would be ideal for the clubs and Dan Neil
Dan Neil will be hungry for opportunities, and he will be determined to showcase his qualities in the Premier League. The Englishman is likely to fight hard for opportunities, and his determination to succeed will be a bonus for West Ham. He is likely to be available for a reasonable amount of money given his situation at Sunderland.
Meanwhile, Sunderland will be looking to finish the season strongly. The Black Cats have been quite impressive in the Premier League, and they are currently in the top half of the table. They will look to stay there until the end of the season. Getting rid of their fringe players and signing quality replacements would be a step in the right direction.
It remains to be seen whether the Black Cats can get his transfer across the line and secure a quality replacement before the window closes. West Ham will be hoping to close the deal for a reasonable amount of money. Meanwhile, West Ham have done well to improve their attacking unit by signing Taty Castellanos and Pablo.
If they can add more quality in the middle of the park, there is no reason why they cannot secure survival in the Premier League this season. With Guido Rodriguez closing in on joining Valencia, Dan Neil can arrive as a solid replacement.
