West Ham United finally appear to be progressing in their efforts to sign free agent and former loanee Jesse Lingard.
That’s according to a recent breaking news report from Sky Sports, who claim the England international, who is obviously rated very highly by manager David Moyes, is in negotiations with the Hammers over a proposed permanent transfer.
Lingard, 29, spent six months on loan with the Londoners during the second half of the 2020-21 season.
The midfielder’s spell at the London Stadium, although brief, saw the 29-year-old reignite his career in an emphatic fashion.
Directly contributing to 14 goals in just 16 appearances, it is no surprise to see Moyes try his best to re-sign the former United academy graduate.
