Jesse Lingard is pictured training with Al-Ettifaq for the first time as he bids for a contract at the Saudi Pro League side - and reunites with his 2018 World Cup team-mate Jordan Henderson

Jesse Lingard has been pictured training with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq for the first time since the free agent arrived in the Kingdom in a bid to secure a new contract.

The former Manchester United star played for Nottingham Forest last season but failed to make an impact in Steve Cooper's side, registering just 17 league appearances during their 2022-23 campaign.

After opting not to extend his one-year contract over the summer, the 30-year-old has been without a club, but has been training with West Ham since the start of August.
