Sky Sports reporter shares fresh “developments” for West Ham regarding Jesse Lingard offer
According to Sky Sports, West Ham are still waiting for Jesse Lingard to respond after sending him a contract offer. What’s the story? Well, the 29-year-old officially becomes a free agent tomorrow when his contract with Manchester United expires. Newcastle were also expressing an interest in the England international, although it is said that the Magpies backed away after learning that he wanted £200,000-a-week.

West Ham supporters hold the Warrington-born attacker in high regard, after he remarkably scored nine goals in just 16 Premier League appearances for the Irons in the 2020/21 campaign. Lingard also provided four assists during that mesmeric loan spell in east London. Live on Sky Sports earlier today, a reporter said: “Just a few developments on the future of Jesse Lingard. West Ham feel they have made a good offer, and remain hopeful he will sign.” Clearly, West Ham believe they have made Lingard a fair offer, so the lack of a response is interesting. Is he waiting for better options, or is he simply giving it a good think? Only time will tell. Jesse Lingard should join West Ham In our view, Lingard would be a fool to ignore West Ham. In fact, he should’ve joined the Hammers on a permanent basis immediately after that stunning loan spell, as Moyes clearly has a system he can thrive in at the London Stadium. Lingard was among the best performers in Europe, let alone the Premier League, during his time in east London, and we believe he will have an enjoyable time if he commits the next few years of his career to the Irons. Moyes knows him, Lingard knows most of the West Ham squad, and he is already a firm fan favourite. In that respect, he should put pen to paper on West Ham’s contract offer soon, in order to get a full pre-season under his belt.

Jesse Lingard feels West Ham goal will come for Said Benrahma soon
Said Benrahma is still waiting to break his West Ham scoring duck but team-mate Jesse Lingard insists that elusive first goal will come. The Algerian winger, signed for £30million from Brentford last year, has now had a Premier League-high 33 attempts at goal this season without finding the net once. His big chance arrived late in the first half against Everton on Sunday, a free header at the far post which sailed over the crossbar. Lingard, by contrast, has scored nine goals in 13 appearances since joining on loan from Manchester United. “I don’t think he’s putting pressure on himself,” Lingard told the club website. “He’s arriving in the right areas to score and it’s just about executing it, that’s all. “For us as a team we’re together and trying to help each other to score and get into the right positions. “Football is like that. It’s about how we deal with it during the game and how we adapt. I felt we adapted fairly well and dominated the game against Everton, but we just couldn’t create clear-cut chances and finish them.” Manager David Moyes has been critical of Benrahma’s decision-making with the ball over the course of the campaign. The 25-year-old hit 17 goals to fire Brentford to the Championship play-offs last term but is yet to make his mark in the top flight. “I think it is difficult for many players who come to the Premier League, you often see big buys coming in, people who have spent big money on players and it takes them some time to settle,” Moyes said. “The Premier League is very demanding, it is different from what is required of other leagues so this is a big step-up for Said, just as it was for Jarrod Bowen who has done very well for us. “Said has had some really good per
