West Ham have been linked with a third Sunderland player as the club begin to lose matches at precisely the wrong time.
The Mackems sit comfortably in the Championship play-off spots but have not registered a win in almost a month. This is in stark contrast to the North East club’s start to the season, when they looked like genuine candidates for automatic promotion.
Sunderland’s strong early-season form attracted a lot of interest from Premier League clubs — including West Ham — who have been eyeing their players.
The Hammers have scouted midfielders Jobe Bellingham (younger brother of Jude) and Chris Rigg on multiple occasions this season. And now it seems we’re looking to complete the entire Sunderland midfield with a reported £10m move for Dan Neil.
The 23-year-old from South Shields has been ever-present this season, and SI.com are now linking him with a move to the Hammers. However, it is also reported that Everton are moving fast in an effort to secure his services.
The likelihood is that if Sunderland win promotion to the Premier League, they’ll be able to keep hold of their best players. But Claret & Hugh has been informed on several occasions by a trusted transfer source that Rigg is the most likely to join West Ham following talks earlier this season.
Whether the appointment of Graham Potter has changed the club’s priorities is not yet known, as the new Irons gaffer continues to keep his cards close to his chest.
Could be likely that maybe it is probable there is a chance that if my sources are right West Ham may be as like as not, all things considered , apparently, are, perhaps all things considered, are potentially signing a world beater 🤣😂🤯👏🤔🤪
Great quote. Fitting for this site these days. 😁
Southampton/Burnley/Ipswich/Sunderland why not try Hackney Marshes on a Sunday morning?
How can there be so much discrepancy? Last week it was players costing £60m+.
Highlights what random rubbish gets put in these articles.
It does come down to beggars can’t be choosers.
Yes, it’s all crap, so called journalists just make up stories. I read West Ham are interested in Lamine Yamal. ( Not really, I just made that up).
