Jesse Lingard Returns to West Ham

Lingard Snubbed by Other Clubs

Despite receiving offers from other clubs, Jesse Lingard has opted to return to his former side, West Ham. Lingard had a successful loan spell at West Ham during the 2020/21 season, scoring nine goals in 16 Premier League appearances. He has been a free agent since leaving Manchester United at the end of last season.

West Ham's Pursuit

West Ham manager David Moyes has been a long-time admirer of Lingard and has been keen to bring him back to the club. The Hammers have made a number of attempts to sign Lingard, but they have been met with resistance from the player. However, it now appears that Lingard has finally agreed to a move to West Ham.

Lingard's Potential Role

Lingard is expected to play a key role in West Ham's team next season. He is a versatile attacker who can play in a number of positions, including as a winger, attacking midfielder, and second striker. Lingard's creativity and goalscoring ability will be a valuable asset to West Ham.

Competition from Newcastle

West Ham will face competition for Lingard from Newcastle United, who are also interested in signing the player. However, it is believed that West Ham are the favorites to sign Lingard, as he has a good relationship with Moyes and is keen to return to the club where he enjoyed a successful loan spell.
