Jesse Lingard Could Head Back To West Ham As Man Utd Departure Is Confirmed

West Ham, who concluded the season with a 3-1 loss to in-form Brighton, have had a mostly positive campaign, with the Hammers finishing 7th in the league and making history by reaching the Europa League semi-final, where they were stumped by eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt.

Evidently, the West Ham board see the attacking third of the pitch as the place to invest, with an initial enquiry over the signing of Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard being made.

The England international’s contract is set to expire this summer, with it seemingly making sense for all parties involved that he departs for West Ham on a free. Within the last 24 hours talks have been progressing, with Nicolò Schira reporting that a 3 year contract is set to be offered.

If we see Lingard hit the form previously achieved on his first spell at West Ham, could we be looking at a late addition to Southgate’s World Cup squad? It looks possible.
