According to The Guardian, Newcastle United and West Ham United are interested in signing Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina this summer, and they can land him for £7 million.
The Gabon international is currently on a season-long loan at Fulham, and while the London side would love to sign him permanently, they are staring at relegation in the face and will not be able to recruit his services for next season if they drop to the Championship.
Lemina, 27, has featured in 30 games across all competitions for Scott Parker’s side, and his performances have impressed both West Ham and Newcastle.
