David Moyes' Everton squad will look much different next season, and Dwight McNeil is one name that could be moved on.

The English winger almost secured his permanent move out of L3 in the recent winter window.

However, Crystal Palace pulled the plug on that move, ending his hopes of a switch to London.

But a London move could be back on the cards now, with interest emerging from West Ham.

The Toffees, after accepting a £20million bid for McNeil in the winter window, will likely look to ship him out again.

Whether or not they can command a similar fee remains to be seen, but here is the latest on McNeil's possible departure.

What has been said about West Ham's interest in Dwight McNeil?

West Ham's relegation means McNeil would have to take a drop in level to make the switch to E20.

As things stand, going from potentially playing for a side in the Europa League next season to the second tier is not quite an attractive offer.

Especially when he is still on a Premier League contract.

But, according to West Ham insider ExWHUEmployee, McNeil is a name on the Hammers' radar.

The East Londoners, though, do face that aforementioned battle to convince him of the move.

But Moyes could step in and help a transfer move along between his current and former employers.

And now, he could do his former club a favour while also boosting his own transfer fund in L3 at the same time.

After managing the Irons, the Scotsman could talk up the East London club to McNeil and convince him that it is the right side for him to move to.

While McNeil has been a solid servant for the Toffees, he is a player that can be upgraded on.

With the potential help of Moyes, Everton can get a player off their books, and bring in funds to strengthen the squad.

With the Blues chasing multiple West Ham stars such as Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Tomas Soucek, El Hadji Malick Diouf and Jarrod Bowen, a swap deal may also be on the cards as well.

As things have been reported, the Hammers and Toffees may be involved in plenty of discussions this summer.
