# West Ham: BBC journalist shares Jesse Lingard transfer update

**According to the BBC, there has been a significant [West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) transfer update involving long-time transfer target Jesse Lingard.**

### The Lowdown: Moyes attempts permanent move…

Ever since the Manchester United ace [thrived during a loan spell](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109000/History/Jesse-Lingard) at the London Stadium in the first f ew months of 2021, Irons manager David Moyes has been [attempting to re-sign](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61561908) the player on a permanent deal.

The Englishman has been at the centre of West Ham transfer attempts both in [January and last summer](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61561908), but those failed to result in Lingard signing for the Hammers indefinitely.

However, as the 29-year-old’s contract at Old Trafford nears its end, Moyes and GSB have the opportunity to finally seal his capture for zero transfer cost on a [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) Bosman deal.

### The Latest: BBC share Lingard update…

According to Simon Stone for [the BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61561908), the West Ham manager is indeed back in for Lingard once more, with the east Londoners already making a pre-summer move in the form of an enquiry.

Stone added that Moyes has a personal long-standing interest in his former attacker, who is set to leave Manchester as a free agent next month.

### The Verdict: Seal a move…

Signing Lingard for no transfer fee really is a no-brainer for Moyes and West Ham, who will be looking to build upon their remarkable rise over the last two seasons.

Having already [excelled under Moyes,](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesse-lingard/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/141660/plus/0/wettbewerb/GB1/trainer_id/450) all while knowing the club from his first temporary spell, the Red Devils outcast could find a real home at Rush Green, and we believe that Lingard should give first priority to an Irons reunion.

Pundits like Paul Robinson, who was speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-tipped-to-seal-massive-lingard-signing-in-january-as-player-stance-revealed-pundit/) on the possible transfer, have claimed that Lingard would be a ‘massive signing’ for West Ham, and we’re inclined to agree, especially considering that he can now join for free at the end of June.
