# Newcastle United: Pete Graves reveals Jesse Lingard representatives at St. James’ Park

**Sky Sports’ Pete Graves has confirmed that representatives of Jesse Lingard were at St. James’ Park at the weekend ahead of a potential move to Newcastle United.**

### The Lowdown: Lingard discussed

Writing in a piece for [The Daily Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/10/09/james-tarkowski-expected-become-one-newcastle-uniteds-new-owners/), Luke Edwards revealed that Lingard is being discussed as a potential signing, but it is not clear whether he would want to leave Manchester United for the North East.

However, his representatives may have given off a big hint over where he now sees his future.

### The Latest: At St. James’ Park

According to [Graves](https://twitter.com/PeteGravesTV/status/1450065387165560838), Lingard’s representatives were at St. James’ Park on Sunday afternoon, when the Tyneside club lost 3-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The Sky Sports journalist claims that they were ‘keeping an eye on developments’ at the Magpies.

### The Verdict: Loan him in

Lingard may not be too interested in a relegation battle, given that he is currently at United who are fighting much nearer to the top of the Premier League.

Thus, getting him on a loan deal for the rest of the season in the January transfer window, with an option to buy depending on if they manage to survive, could be a great option for the new owners.

Dubbed as [‘phenomenal’](https://talksport.com/football/864306/jesse-lingard-premier-league-best-player-currently-raheem-sterling-england/) by Adrian Durham during his loan spell at West Ham United last season, in where he had no fewer than 14 goal contributions in 16 matches ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesse-lingard/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/141660/plus/0?saison=&verein=379&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)), Lingard could do the same again.

With so much top-flight experience, he could be the key to getting the Toon out of the mess that they are in.
