Sky Sports report he has other offers on the table but prefers a return to the London Stadium.

Reporter Dharmesh Sheth tweeted: “West Ham United are negotiating with Jesse Lingard’s representatives.

“[There is a] growing feeling that the player will decide to return to the club.

“He has other Premier League offers.”

Lingard joined David Moyes’ Irons in January 2021 just as the sun was setting on his Old Trafford career.

With nine goals in 16 appearances for a team that is now a regular fixture in European football, he reminded everyone of his quality.

Lingard also used the loan spell to rejuvenate his career with Gareth Southgate’s World Cup-tied Three Lions.

The product of the Red Devils’ youth academy, it returned to Old Trafford last season but had limited playing time.
