Report: Arsenal want Jesse Lingard this summer

Arsenal are considering reigniting their interest and making a move for Jesse Lingard this summer, .

Lingard’s future looks set to be a key talking point over the coming months. He has been an outstanding loa𝓀n signing for West Ham United.

✤The 28-year-old has scored six goals and contributed three assists for the Hammers. His form has resulted in his rℱecent return to the England squad.

And it appears that he may be at the centre of a bidding war ꦇthis summer.

, Mikel Arteta is keen to rival West Ham for his signature. The report notes that Arsenal were keen on Lingard in January before h💫is move to the London Stadium.

It is ☂also suggested that Roma want the attacking midfielder.

that Arsenal would be able to meet his near-🍌£110,000-a-week wages. Meanwhile, a report from The Sun suggested that Manchester United’s asking price could go as high as £40 million.

TBR View: £40m Lingard move would be a huge gamble

If Lingard is capable of replicating the form he has shown for W💟est Ham, any permanent move this summer could prove to be inspired.

However,༺ paying anything like £40 million would initially have to be deemed a huge gamble. He turns 29 before the end of t꧟he year. And it does feel like his West Ham form has come almost from nowhere.

Arsenal fa🐓ns are probably bracing t﷽hemselves for Edu and Arteta not working with a game-changing budget this summer.

So spending a large chunk of that on Lingaཧrd may not go down too well.
