Dwight McNeil: West Ham and Crystal Palace in talks with Burnley for winger | Transfer Centre News
West Ham and Crystal Palace are both in talks with Burnley over winger Dwight McNeil.
The 22-year-old has made 134 Premier League appearances for Burnley and is seen as a prime target because of his experience of top-level football, while still being so young.
McNeil himself is keen to return to the Premier League and is currently considering a number of options.

McNeil has two years remaining on his current deal and the club have the option to extend that contract by a further year.
Burnley are likely to demand a fee in excess of £15m for the England U21 international.
