# West Ham: Irons enquire about Dwight McNeil

**[West Ham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-transfer-rumours/) are one of the teams who have asked about Burnley winger Dwight McNeil, according to [90Min](https://www.90min.com/posts/newcastle-united-interested-nick-pope-burnley-players-on-radar).**

### The lowdown

McNeil and Burnley suffered relegation to the Championship on the final day of the 2021/22 season after a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle.

[The Athletic’s Andy Jones](https://theathletic.com/3333259/2022/05/26/burnley-kompany-transfers-debt/) reported in the days following their demotion that internal discussions would be held about McNeil’s future.

He featured in every single Premier League game for the Clarets last term, [starting 35 out of 38](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-mcneil/leistungsdaten/spieler/584769).

The 22-year-old has two years left on his contract at Turf Moor and is valued at £16.2million by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-mcneil/leistungsdaten/spieler/584769).

### The latest

[90min journalist Graeme Bailey](https://www.90min.com/posts/newcastle-united-interested-nick-pope-burnley-players-on-radar) names six sides who have expressed an interest in signing McNeil.

West Ham, Newcastle, Tottenham, Everton, Brentford and Fulham are all considering a move for the Englishman.

### The verdict

The 21/22 season was not only a difficult one for Burnley as a collective, but also for McNeil individually.

He [failed to score a goal and only registered one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-mcneil/leistungsdaten/spieler/584769/plus/0?saison=2021), having notched seven goal involvements (2G 5A) [the season before](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-mcneil/leistungsdaten/spieler/584769/plus/0?saison=2020).

He was even [booed by the club’s supporters](https://theathletic.com/3165508/2022/03/06/how-is-booing-dwight-mcneil-going-to-help/) during a heavy defeat against Chelsea in March.

Moyes, then, would potentially have to rebuild his confidence, but he’ll be able to look beyond his recent woes.

This is a player with a great deal of potential, as evidenced by his [ten caps for England at Under-21 level](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-mcneil/nationalmannschaft/spieler/584769).

If he’s available for a reduced fee following their relegation, then he might still be worth a punt.
