Neill: Staying put

Lucas Neill insists he is fully committed to West Ham.

The Australian, who is believed to be one of the highest earners at Upton Park, has been strongly linked with a move away from the club this summer.

Turkish club Galatasaray have made an offer - a story exclusively revealed by skysports.com - whilst Neill's former Blackburn boss Mark Hughes, now in charge at Manchester City, has also been strongly linked.

West Ham's interest in Swiss star Valon Behrami - who can play at right back - has also cast doubt over Neill's place in Alan Curbishley's plans.

But Neill himself is insistent he will not be moving.

"I'm a West Ham player," Neill toldThe Sun. "That's the start and finish of it."
