Jesse Lingard has huge chance of staying at Man United after West Ham sign Nikola Vlasic
West Ham United have kickstarted their deadline day action with the signing of Nikola Vlasic this morning.
David Moyes wants more signings, with Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard has been strongly linked ever since his loan move.
Fabrizio Romano has shared the latest on a potential switch, with the Vlasic deal said to have impacted the chances.
The Sky Sports transfer guru has shared the latest update on his personal Twitter account, and it doesn’t look good.
“Nikola Vlasic joins West Ham on a permanent move from CSKA Moscow, done deal now also official,” he wrote.
“Paperworks signed, statement confirms. Jesse Lingard has now huge chances to stay at Manchester United.”
Missed out.
It looks as though Lingard will be staying where he is.
Moyes tried his best to convince the England international to come back to the London Stadium with a last-gasp meeting, but it must not have worked [Claret and Hugh].
Thankfully, Vlasic has arrived instead and our options in the final third have been strengthened after this brilliant start to the season.
Lingard appears happy to stay on the bench and get limited playing time at Old Trafford – he didn’t even get on against Wolves, nevermind now Cristiano Ronaldo has arrived.
With almost 12 hours left in the window, it looks as though it will be loan moves from here on out – time will tell for who.
