says that t𒅌he Eng♛land midfielder has been impressing staff whilst training with the side recently.

However, the information also confirms🅰 that David Moyes still hasn’t ultimately made a final decision on the move.

Moyes wants to be sure that 30-year-old Jesse Lingard is fully committed.

This news may come as a surpris☂e to West Ham fans who probably consider their side well stacked in the area.

Lingard has mainly been deployed as an attack🧸ing midfielder in his career, although he can also do a competent jo🥂b out wide.

And with West Ham having all of Pablo Fornals, Mohammed Kudus and Maxwell Cornet on their bench last Friday against Luton Town – fans mi✱꧑ght deem a deal unnecessary. 

Moreover, Lingard did fail to have much of an imp🍒act whilst under contract with Nottingham Forest last season.

On the other h🔜and, West Ham fans may remember just how gooꦜd Lingard was during a loan move in 2021.

It’s almost hard to remember a loan signing having a bigger impact across 🍃the whole of the Premier League in recent years.

Lingard scored🎀 nine goals and registered five assists in his 16 appearances for t♈he club.

And although his form for🎃 Manchester United and Forest has been nowhere near as good since, West Ham may think they can rekindle that form.

West Ham and Lingard were clearly a good fit in 2021 and a would allow the club to explore tha😼t relationship again.

Whether Lingard would be afforded enough minutes to make an🌞 impact is another debate altogether.

Either way, West Ham fans surely will be pleas༺ed with how their summer window unfolded, and will already be excited for club football to return.
