David Moyes admits he was surprised when Jesse Lingard chose Nottingham Forest over a return to West Ham.
Lingard, who was a free agent after leaving Manchester United, enjoyed a successful loan stint with the Hammers two seasons ago.
The 29-year-old scored nine goals in 16 matches to help fire West Ham into Europe, and also got back into the England squad.
After another season of bench-warming at United, Lingard was offered the chance to head back to the London Stadium to resurrect his career for a second time.
