West Ham should reignite Jesse Lingard move in January
The Jesse Lingard to West Ham transfer saga dominated the summer transfer window and became very boring.
It was clear that Manchester United weren’t that keen on letting him go, and the player himself didn’t seem that bothered about making the move to the London Stadium.
In the end, he stayed and has actually made six appearances for the Red Devils this season.
However, a recent exclusive from Claret & Hugh claimed that the Irons could sign Lingard for just £10million in January.
Now, given what he did for the Irons, the club should be all over this deal if this reported price tag is true.
Yes, he didn’t seem that keen to move in the summer but surely, he will realise that the Red Devils will probably release him next summer when his contract expires.
Therefore, a move back to the London Stadium where he thrived makes perfect sense to us, and we would hope that Lingard would jump at the chance this time.
Yes, the Irons signed Nikola Vlasic, but for just £10million, Lingard would be a no-brainer and would add even more quality to a potent attacking unit.
In his time on loan with the Hammers, Lingard scored nine goals and provided five assists in just 16 appearances in all competitions.
He was also described as “unbelievable” by Andy Goldstein while he was with the Irons [talkSPORT].
He was nothing short of a revelation, and to bring him back could be a total game-changer for the Irons, and at just £10million, they should be all over this deal.
