# West Ham United: Fans left unimpressed with Jesse Lingard claims

**Flocking to Twitter, many West Ham fans have been left unimpressed with Jesse Lingard’s fresh admission that he hopes the Irons make a late move for him.**

According to fresh reports by [ESPN](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4577976/january-transfer-window-anthony-martialpierre-emerick-aubameyangantonio-rudiger-among-players-who-could-move), Manchester United are keen to negotiate a permanent transfer for the England international before the January transfer deadline, as they hope to avoid losing the midfielder on a free at the end of the season.

Sources have told [ESPN](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4577976/january-transfer-window-anthony-martialpierre-emerick-aubameyangantonio-rudiger-among-players-who-could-move) that Lingard is only prepared to sign for Newcastle on a loan deal rather than a permanent basis, as he would like to assess his options in the summer.

The 29-year-old is [reportedly](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4577976/january-transfer-window-anthony-martialpierre-emerick-aubameyangantonio-rudiger-among-players-who-could-move) hoping that his former loan club West Ham make a late move to secure his services. However, Man United are reluctant to loan the player to a club with whom they are competing for Champions League qualification, so they would only consider a permanent transfer to the Irons.

### West Ham fans slam Lingard

[West Ham Transfers](https://twitter.com/westhamtransfer/status/1485591560855199747) shared ESPN’s news on their Twitter account, and this led to numerous Hammers fans flocking to the comments to share their disillusionment with the player, following a lengthy transfer saga where he [previously rejected a move](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/manchester-united-transfer-news-jesse-lingard-rejected-west-ham-to-fight-for-first-team-place) to the club.

Here’s what some of them had to say, with one angrily calling Lingard a “time waster”:
