West Ham United has reportedly offered Jesse Lingard a contract to stay at the club, according to manager David Moyes. The midfielder is currently on loan from Manchester United and has been in impressive form since joining the Hammers in January.
Lingard’s loan spell at West Ham has rejuvenated his career, with the 28-year-old scoring nine goals and providing four assists in just 10 Premier League appearances. His performances have played a key role in West Ham’s push for European qualification this season.
Moyes has been delighted with Lingard’s impact and expressed his desire to keep the player at the London Stadium beyond this season. He revealed that the club has made an offer to Lingard and is hopeful that the midfielder will accept it.
Speaking ahead of West Ham’s game against Leeds United, Moyes said, “We’ve already made him an offer, so we’re waiting to hear back from Jesse’s representatives.” He added, “I hope he sees West Ham as a good place for him.”
Lingard’s contract at Manchester United expires in the summer of 2022, and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils will look to extend his deal or cash in on the midfielder. The England international has struggled for regular game time at Old Trafford in recent seasons, and a move away from the club could provide him with the opportunity for more playing minutes.
West Ham’s strong season has put them in contention for a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League or Europa League. Lingard’s performances have been instrumental in their success, and securing his services permanently would be a significant boost for Moyes and his team.
However, competition for Lingard’s signature is expected to be fierce, with several other Premier League clubs reportedly interested in signing the midfielder. Lingard’s impressive displays have caught the attention of many, and his future could be decided based on the offers he receives.
For now, West Ham remains hopeful that Lingard will choose to stay at the club and continue his impressive form. The Hammers have been one of the surprise packages in the Premier League this season, and keeping their key players will be crucial for their ambitions moving forward.
As the season nears its conclusion, Lingard’s future is likely to become clearer in the coming weeks. West Ham fans will be eagerly awaiting news of whether their star midfielder will commit his future to the club or seek a new challenge elsewhere.
