Mario Lemina a refusé un pont d’or en provenance de Turquie. Le joueur privilégie de rester en Angleter… https://t.co/PSYUoNs6Dx (@SoccerLink_)
The Hammers are the latest Premier League club to reportedly express an interest in signing the Gabon international, who looks all but set to leave St Mary’s Stadium this summer.
Lemina is not taking part in first-team training, with Ralph Hasenhuttl keen for the player to go as soon as possible.
Soccer Link’s tweet claims that Wolverhampton Wanderers are also in the running to sign the former Juventus star, who is keen to remain in the Premier League ahead of next season.
Lemina is believed to be keen on playing for a top-four club, but whether or not the opportunity to secure a move of this kind will arise remains to be seen.
It is claimed that the 25-year-old has rejected a move to Turkey, as Southampton continue to push for his departure.
