# West Ham United: Report shares major Jesse Lingard transfer update

**According to [The Daily Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/jesse-lingard-man-utd-transfer-25856761), there has been a major January development in West Ham United’s hunt for Manchester United playmaker Jesse Lingard.**

### The Lowdown: West Ham eye Lingard…

Manager David Moyes is said to want Lingard again this window after he[tried and failed](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/jesse-lingard-man-utd-transfer-25856761) to bring him to the London Stadium last summer.

Indeed, reliable club insider [ExWHUemployee](https://www.thewesthamway.com/2021/12/29/exwhuemployee-update-3/) backs that the Scotsman is still very much interested alongside other good sources – with reporter [Jack Rosser of The Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-ben-brereton-diaz-jesse-lingard-b974859.html) also hearing that West Ham are in the running.

Lingard hasn’t managed to resurrect his career at Old Trafford since his [brilliant loan spell with the Hammers](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109000/History/Jesse-Lingard) last season, leading to the England international [cancelling new contract talks](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/manchester-united-engman_utd/story/4523950/man-uniteds-jesse-lingard-set-to-leave-on-free-after-contract-talks-break-down-sources) as he eyes a move away.

Now, in a pretty big update, The Mirror and reporter Joe Krishnan have made quite the claim.

### The Latest: Lingard ‘ready’ to seal West Ham move…

According to [their information](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/jesse-lingard-man-utd-transfer-25856761), Lingard is now ‘ready to leave Manchester United behind and seal a permanent move to West Ham’ before January 31.

The Red Devils are apparently ‘resigned’ to losing the 29-year-old with both Moyes and West Ham ‘determined to land’ the attacker this month.

It is also believed they are ‘hoping to strike a deal’ for a ‘cut-price fee’ as recruitment chief Rob Newman and manager Moyes appear to edge a step closer.

### The Verdict: Exciting times…

All signs from this latest development point towards an inevitable exit from Manchester and Lingard’s stance that he is ‘ready’ to ‘seal’ a move to West Ham comes as exciting.

It appears the Irons are favourites to land the England international who bagged an incredible nine goals and four assists over [16 Premier League appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109000/History/Jesse-Lingard) on a temporary London spell at the end of 2020/2021.

These numbers point towards a player who is already proven under Moyes with former Three Lions goalkeeper and pundit Paul Robinson certainly believing he is the ideal target.

Robinson hailed Lingard as a possible ‘massive signing’ for the club if they can reach an agreement this month, going on to state his arrival would gift Moyes a ‘massive boost’ and his arrival could be ‘huge’ ([Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-tipped-to-seal-massive-lingard-signing-in-january-as-player-stance-revealed-pundit/)).

We’re in complete agreement, especially for a potential cut price.
