Lucas Neill's agent has ruled out the possibility of his client joining Turkish giants Galatasaray.

The West Ham defender has been strongly linked with a move away from Upton Park this summer, but looks unlikely to be joining his Australian compatriot Harry Kewell at the Super Lig champions.

He only joined the Hammers in January 2007 and has been named club captain by boss Alan Curbishley.

With that in mind, Paddy Dominguez sees no reason why the full-back would be looking to secure a move elsewhere.

"It doesn't make sense that a manager who brought Lucas to the club and has installed him as captain would look to sell him," Dominguez told The Australian.

"It would be very strange. Lucas' relationship with Alan Curbishley is good and he is relishing the role of captain."
