Lingard
30-cap Int’l reportedly turned down a move to West Ham and it could be a huge mistake – Opinion
Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard apparently turned down a move to West Ham United this summer and it could prove to be a big mistake. The 28-year-old was on loan at the London club during the second half of last season and he was outstanding for David Moyes’ side. The Hammers gave him an opportunity to showcase his qualities when he was struggling for game time at Old Trafford and the player grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Lingard ended up scoring nine goals and he also picked up five assists in just 16 matches for West Ham. It was widely reported at the end of last season that the Hammers would try and sign the player permanently before the start of this season. A permanent move to the London club would have been a wise decision as far as Lingard is considered. However, h...
West Ham could make an attempt to sign 28-yr-old ace before the window closes
West Ham United remain keen on signing Jesse Lingard from Manchester United before the transfer window closes. According to The Times, the Premier League giants are set to make another attempt to bring the 28-year-old to the London Stadium. Lingard enjoyed an outstanding loan spell at West Ham during the second half of last season. He scored nine goals in 16 appearances, and it is no surprise that David Moyes wants to sign him permanently. The Hammers need to add more quality and depth to their attack, and Lingard has shown that he has the ability to improve the team. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer recently revealed that Lingard has a big role to play at Old Trafford. However, that has not affected West Ham’s intention of signing the attacking midfielder. The club’s assista...
Marcus Rashford penalty gives England win over Romania in Euro warm-up
Marcus Rashford’s penalty earned England an unconvincing 1-0 win over Romania in their final warm-up friendly ahead of Euro 2020 in Middlesbrough on Sunday. However, victory for Gareth Southgate’s men was again overshadowed by booing from supporters as the players took the knee before kick-off. Southgate’s selection will also be questioned as he named an experimental line-up with five players who are not part of his final squad making an appearance at some point in the game. There is still one place up for grabs in Southgate’s 26-man squad, though, due to an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold. James Ward-Prowse, Ben Godfrey and Ben White were all given the chance to further their case from the start, while Jesse Lingard and Ollie Watkins came off the bench in the second-half. An inexperience...
Euro 2020: Gareth Southgate invites Bukayo Saka, 24 others
Gareth Southgate hit back at the critics after selecting Trent Alexander-Arnold for England’s Euro 2020 squad as the Three Lions boss admitted Harry Maguire is a doubt for the opener against Croatia. Alexander-Arnold had to endure a nervous wait before learning he had made the cut after spending much of the season out of favour with Southgate. The 22-year-old was left out of Southgate’s England squad for their World Cup qualifiers in March. But Alexander-Arnold’s strong end to the season with Liverpool convinced Southgate to restore the right-back to his squad. Alexander-Arnold responded to his selection by tweeting: “Always believe in yourself. Silence the doubters.” Irritated by the inaccurate pre-announcement reports that he would drop Alexander-Arnold, Southgate insisted he never lost ...

West Ham boss allays fears of serious Jesse Lingard injury after substitution
West Ham manager David Moyes has moved to allay fears Jesse Lingard picked up an injury in the defeat at Newcastle on Saturday. The loanee, who scored his ninth goal for the club in the game, was withdrawn late on after going down with cramp. Lingard’s goal from the penalty spot made this season his best every in terms of goals scored in the top flight, doing so in just ten games for the Hammers. If they are to make the top four this season, the England international will be key, meaning that his going down sparked fears among many supporters. Lingard was quickly back on the pitch after the game and Moyes was quick to calm any worries. “I think it was just cramp, I don’t think it was anything serious,” said Moyes. Arthur Masuaku and Aaron Cresswell missed the game through injury, with the ...
‘He could play in any top team’ – Former PL winner lavishes praise on West Ham attacker
Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard joined West Ham United on loan in January, and the 28-year-old has made quite an impression at the London club. Lingard has scored five goals with three assists in just seven starts for the Hammers. Former Manchester United defender and Premier League winner Rio Ferdinand is not surprised with Lingard’s start to life at West Ham and believes that he is good enough to play for any top club. “I’ve argued with pundit after pundit, on-air, and off-air,” Ferdinand said on Five. “He could play in any top team because he’s an intelligent footballer. He can play off one touch or two touch.” “He gets judged on his antics on social media. Some people it rubs them up the wrong way, and they don’t like him because of it, and a lot of the younger generation love...
‘Time for Levy to say no’ – Some Spurs fans react after hearing who Mourinho wants
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard this summer. According to Daily Star, Jose Mourinho wants a reunion with the 27-year-old and the Londoners could look to sign him in a deal worth around £30 million. It would be very surprising if Tottenham decided to move for the Manchester United attacker this summer. The 27-year-old has been quite mediocre for the Red Devils and he is hardly going to improve Tottenham. Spurs need to improve their attacking options and they must aim for someone with higher potential. Lingard could be a decent backup for Kane but it wouldn’t be an inspiring addition to the squad. Lingard has not started a Premier League game for Manchester United since January and he’s unwanted at the club. It is highly likely that Man...
