West Ham line up last-ditch loan move should Jesse Lingard not sign
West Ham United have a loan deal lined up should they fail to sign Jesse Lingard, according to ExWHUemployee.
The Irons have 48 hours to seal the signing of the Manchester United attacker, but the deal is getting more unlikely.
It is shared that the club are starting to accept the likelihood of a move getting smaller as we quickly approach the Tuesday deadline.
Writing on his Patreon, Ex has shared the update that suggests the Hammers are ready for every eventuality.
“If Lingard discussions do not go to plan then a loan deal is also set up for another player,” he wrote.
“It appears there is less and less chance of us getting Lingard. There is one more discussion planned but club accepting he is unlikely to move now.”
Desperate?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may be unsure on whether to sanction the move, but after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, chances are very limited.
Lingard couldn’t even get on to the pitch against Wolves on Sunday, and that was without the Portuguese superstar in the squad.
Things can change very quickly in the final 48 hours of a window, so expect the unexpected, but the Irons appear ready for every outcome as it stands.
With Nikola Vlasic likely arriving permanently, a loan alongside him to add to the depth may not be the worst decision.
