Transfer News: West Ham Still Wants Man United Winger; Transfer Is Not Feasible
KEY POINTS
Manchester United s asking price may dissuade West Ham and other parties
Lingard has become expendable due to Jadon Sancho s arrival
By this point, West Ham United’s pursuit of Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard is no secret to anyone.
Thanks to his stellar loan spell at the club that saw them finish at sixth place in the English Premier League, Lingard is being targeted by West Ham to join the team permanently.
However, new reports suggest that the transfer is yet not feasible.
Manchester United’s asking price for Lingard is set at £30 million ($41.6 million), and it is widely believed that the asking price is just too much for a 28-year-old winger whose game fluctuates from time to time.
A hosts of players arrive at the Euros off the back of stellar seasons with their clubs, but nothing boosts a reputation like lighting up an international tournament. The French wonderkid has already made quite the mark on one international tournament, starring as a 19-year-old when France won the World Cup in 2018. Mbappe is the first player to really challenge the duopoly of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of football and is never cowed by the grand occasion.
