David Moyes has left the door open for West Ham to sign Jesse Lingard on a free transfer.
The former Manchester United star is training with the Hammers.
Despite the deadline passing for Premier League teams to officially name their 25-man squads, West Ham only announced a 24-man squad, meaning that they are free to sign Lingard to a contract whenever they choose.
Moyes commented, “Jesse has been training with us for three weeks and has improved greatly since he first arrived. We have been impressed with his performance and are considering the possibility of signing him.”
The English midfielder has had a positive impact on the team during his training time, showcasing his technical skills and goal-scoring ability. His potential addition to West Ham would be a great boost to the team, bringing experience and quality to the midfield.
Undoubtedly, this situation now puts West Ham in a good position to take advantage of the opportunity to secure Lingard and strengthen their squad without incurring transfer costs. West Ham fans will be excited about the possibility of Lingard joining the club and bringing his talent to the fight for European spots.
We will have to wait and see how the negotiations unfold and whether an agreement is ultimately reached, but the prospect of seeing Lingard donning the West Ham shirt is growing closer.
“He’s in really good condition – much better condition than he was when he first came in.
“I have to say, when Jesse joined us two years ago I think he scored nine goals in 15 games and was probably the difference between us getting into Europe for the first time.
“I want to give him every opportunity to get himself back in condition and see how he does.
“So there’s no real update on it at the moment, just to say that he’s back and getting much closer to the levels of fitness where you’d hope he would be.”
