Regrets; Moyes issues promising Lingard update after doubts cast over West Ham deal

David Moyes has issued a promising Jesse Lingard update after doubts were cast over a West Ham deal for the free agent.

Jesse Lingard has been training with West Ham for close to a month now and the expectation was that he would sign a short-term deal with the club.

Notably the Scot was full of praise for the midfielder and his fitness levels.

Now Moyes has issued a promising Lingard update after doubts were cast over a West Ham deal for the free agent.

‘He’s certainly getting much more like the Jesse…’
Lingard was filmed in training with the West Ham squad ahead of their Europa League opener against TSC Backa Topola.

And speaking in his press conference ahead of that game, Moyes said the 30-year-old is getting closer to the real Lingard.

“Not really, no (any update on Lingard’s situation regarding a permanent deal),” Moyes said.

“We’re keeping him training and he joined training today as well.

“But he’s certainly getting much more like the (real) Jesse I think, in physical capabilities, than he was when we got him in four weeks ago.”
