Jessie Lingard is still working hard to try and get a contract with WEST HAM, as the Hammers can still get a free deal done.
Lingard was a player that West Ham tried to sign last summer window, but he made the decision to take the money and make the move to Nottingham Forest in a move that shocked many in the Premier League
However – that move has not quite worked out and he is now closing in on a move to the Hammers after they decided to reignite their interest in the midfielder and add a bit more depth to the squad, and a deal is getting closer according to Sheth.
On the 30-year-old midfielder, Sheth told GIVEMESPORT: “One hundred per cent, yes. He has been training with the first-team squad for the last month now we think.
“And it was primarily to keep his fitness up. But it’s starting to develop now. And we’re told initial talks have taken place between West Ham United and Lingard’s representatives about a short-term deal
But as you mentioned it can happen after the window because he is a free agent. So he’s not tied down to the deadline of this Friday at 11 o’clock and he can move next week.”
SHOULD WEST HAM GIVE LINGARD A CONTRACT?
The man still has something to offer the club and it would not harm the side by giving him a contract for the next 12 months, especially with the European games that the club will have this season.
He made the mistake by not joining the club last summer, something that he regrets, but he has been working hard to earn himself a contract now and we are sure David Moyes will give him one
As we said – that WEST HAM side does not have alot of depth in the squad and Lingard has the ability to play in a number of positions – so it could work out for everybody.
But even if they dont hand Lingard a deal – we are expecting a very exciting season for the club – the new signings have really made a difference
