# West Ham United: Hammers react as insider reveals GSB could attempt Jesse Lingard permanent deal

**According to an update by [transfer insider Dean Jones](https://twitter.com/DeanJonesBR), via [West Ham Transfers](https://twitter.com/westhamtransfer/status/1362413635537109000), the club could try and sign Jesse Lingard permanently at the end of the season following his brilliant start as an Irons player on loan from Man United – prompting excitement from supporters.**

Lingard, who was the Hammers’ only January acquisition following persistent links to a striker, has enjoyed a fine start to life at the London Stadium – already scoring two goals in just three league appearances under David Moyes ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109000/Show/Jesse-Lingard)).

Moyes and the loanee Red Devil know each other well from their time at Old Trafford, with insider and Eurosport journalist Jones explaining that the club could attempt a potential permanent deal for the Englishman at the end of this season.

As a result of this news, plenty of Irons have flocked to discuss the development – find all of their social media verdicts down below.
