Jesse Lingard is training with former club West Ham to maintain fitness, as he ponders next move after being released by Nottingham Forest

Jesse Lingard has returned to West Ham to train today.

The 30-year-old enjoys a good relationship with David Moyes from their spell working together in 2021. Lingard played some of his best football while on loan from Manchester United scoring nine goals in 16 appearances, scoring more in four months than he had in a whole season during his time at Old Trafford.

When Lingard was coming to the end of his contract with United last year, West Ham tried to sign him but couldn't find an agreement.

Lingard left to join Nottingham Forest on a lucrative one year contract and struggled to make the desired impression.
