# West Ham United: Fans react to Jesse Lingard transfer claim

**Many fans of West Ham United have been reacting to a post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/pedrogva6/status/1383917786628452352) in which Pedro Almeida claimed that the Hammers are set to make Jesse Lingard’s loan deal a permanent move this summer.**

According to [Almeida](https://twitter.com/pedrogva6/status/1383917786628452352), Manchester United will demand a fee of around €25m (£21.5m) in order to part with Lingard on a permanent basis this summer, a figure that West Ham are prepared to pay.

In reaction to Almeida’s post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/pedrogva6/status/1383917786628452352), numerous fans of West Ham flocked to have their say on the matter, with many delighted at the club’s prospects of landing the England international on a long-term basis this summer.
