LUCAS Neill could be on the verge of a move to Newcastle United after the Magpies made an enquiry about a potential transfer for the current West Ham skipper.
The 30-year-old Australian international will be out of contract with the Hammers at the end of the season and as a result has been the subject of many transfer rumours.
But injury-ravaged Newcastle are ready to enter the transfer market and have written to West Ham and the Socceroo's agent to ask about buying Neill.
Neill would be an ideal addition for the relegation-threatened club, as injured current first-choice right-back Habib Beye is out of action for an estimated 10 weeks.
The transfer might happen swiftly too, with Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear admitting on Wednesday: "We've made two serious offers for decent money.
"When I say decent money, two £4m offers for two players. They're considering them now. We made the bids today."
Kinnear later added with regards to Neill: "We have spoken to his agent and it is ongoing at the moment, we are just waiting to see. We could get an answer at any time."
