Sunderland want to keep captain for promotion run-inIpswich sign Brighton’s Julio Enciso on loan
West Ham are tracking the Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil but face a challenge to seal a deal this month. Sunderland are pushing for automatic promotion from the Championship and are unlikely to want to lose their captain, who also has interest from Everton. The 23-year-old is valued at about £15m. Sunderland are fourth, four points behind second-placed Sheffield United.
West Ham do not have extensive funds, with meeting the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability regulations a factor in recruitment decisions, but have shown a willingness to invest in talent for the future.
