‘Fits The System Like A Glove’ ‘It’s A Good Move For All’ Fans Confident That West Ham Signing Will Be A Success

West Ham have confirmed that they have signed Manchester United attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard on loan for the rest of the season.

The Hammers will pay a £1.5m loan fee for the 28-year-old, as well as covering his wages, and they don’t have the option to buy the England international in the summer. However, fans on Twitter think it was the right decision to sign him:

It remains to be seen whether Lingard will turn out to be a good piece of business for West Ham. He has barely featured for United over the last year and he will almost certainly be rusty in his first few appearances.

Even so, he is an experienced player and he will be able to fill in as the number ten, or on either flank, giving manager David Moyes some much-needed depth and flexibility in the frontline. It will be hoped that he can recapture the form he showed for both club and country a few years ago.
