West Ham stance on Tottenham Hotspur target Dwight McNeil

The Sun have reported that West Ham and Crystal Palace are keen on signing McNeil from Burnley in the summer transfer window.

The Hammers are ready to pay £10 million for the 22-year-old, but Burnley are likely to want more than that, according to the report.

90min reported in June that Tottenham are among the clubs who have asked about signing McNeil.

Everton, Newcastle United, Fulham and Brentford are also claimed to be keen on the English youngster.

Exciting talent

In our view, Dwight McNeil is a very exciting young winger who would make West Ham United or Tottenham Hotspur a better team.

We also think that the Hammers and Spurs will have to pay more £10 million for the winger, described as “a big, big player” by former Manchester United star Roy Keane on Super Sunday on Sky Sports (29/08/21 at 1:45 pm) 

McNeil may be only 22, but he is quite experienced and can still get better and improve his game.

The youngster has scored seven goals and created 31 big chances in 134 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. 

If West Ham are willing to pay just £10 million for McNeil, then they could miss out on the winger, as Tottenham could decide to match Burnley’s asking price for the winger.
