Jesse Lingard will decided whether he is going to join West Ham United next month, the Daily Mail suggest.
Lingard has become one of West Ham’s key summer targets, after a brilliant loan spell at the London Stadium last season.
Lingard’s future is now firmly up in the air, but all will be decided in July.
Lingard, who is on a £75,000-a-week contract (Salary Sport), is apparently set for talks with Manchester United in the coming weeks, where he will see what their plan is for him.
West Ham are still hopeful of landing the attacking midfielder, who has made no secret of his affinity towards the club since joining.
Lingard even went out wearing a Declan Rice England shirt at the weekend, which raised West Ham fans’ hope that a move could be possible.
Biggest signing of the summer?
If West Ham could bring in the 28-year-old it could be their most important piece of business of the summer.
Lingard added so much to West Ham’s attack towards the back end of last season, and was one of the major reasons why they kicked on and qualified for Europe.
If he signed he would immediately become a key part of West Ham’s starting line-up, and that could appeal to him as Manchester United cannot promise him such regular first-team football.
