Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina is set to leave the club this summer, and according to claims from Soccer Link via Twitter, a move to West Ham United could be a possibility.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has excluded the former Juventus star from his plans and is looking to cash in on the midfielder before the transfer window slams shut.
Lemina endured a difficult campaign last time out. He was a regular under Mark Hughes, but following a long-term abdominal injury, he failed to make an impression under the new Saints manager at the end of the season.
West Ham could be in the market for a new central midfielder before the Premier League season starts as Manuel Pellegrini puts the finishing touches on his first-team squad.
The Hammers recently sold Pedro Obiang to Sassuolo, leaving them with room for another player to compete for places in the middle of the park.
Lemina is, however, a man in demand. Recent reports have suggested that the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal have expressed an interest in him, while Soccer Link notes Wolverhampton Wanderers as potential suitors.
