Flocking to Twitter, many West Ham United fans have been left buzzing following ExWHUemployee's update on transfer target Jesse Lingard.

Despite failing to sign the Manchester United star on a permanent deal last summer, prompting the club to turn to Nikola Vlasic as an alternative, they have been heavily tipped to return for another attempt in January.

This comes as Lingard continues to be a bit-part player under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, having played just 63 minutes of Premier League football this season (WhoScored).

Reports have even suggested that United could opt to offload the 28-year-old for as little as £10 million in the winter window, possibly alerting West Ham as they reportedly eye a move.

Now, sharing an update on the West Ham Way Podcast, reliable club insider ExWHUemployee has shared an update on the Irons' stance over making a mid-season move.

As per his information, it is believed that West Ham will make a move for the playmaker early in January as manager David Moyes eyes reinforcements.

West Ham fans buzz...

Given his obvious quality and dream spell on loan over the second half of 2020/2021, many Hammers supporters have been left buzzing on social media.

Lauded as 'phenomenal' and the best Premier League player on current form by talkSPORT pundit Adrian Durham back in April, his nine goals and four assists in 16 West Ham outings highlight just what he could bring under Moyes.

As Ex makes this claim, which one fan called 'great news', it's little wonder many Irons are ecstatic.
