Shane Long linked with Premier League move

Another Ireland-eligible striker is also linked with a Premier League transfer.

Ireland striker Shane Long is reportedly a transfer target for West Ham United, should Sunderland refuse to allow Jermain Defoe to leave for London, writes Stephen Barry.

Defoe’s goals have been pivotal to the Black Cats avoiding relegation in the last two seasons and David Moyes has insisted that he wouldn’t consider any offer for the “priceless” striker.
