Jesse Lingard to play in behind-closed-doors friendly for West Ham TODAY, as the Hammers consider offering him a contract after impressing in training

Free agent Jesse Lingard is set to feature in a behind-closed-doors friendly for West Ham against Ipswich at Rush Green today with the club mulling over a contract offer.

Lingard, without a club since leaving Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest at the end of last season, has been training with the Hammers in Romford to get to full fitness.

West Ham have been deciding whether to offer a short-term deal to Lingard, with manager David Moyes impressed by the 30-year-old Englishman's application in first-team training at Rush Green.
