West Ham need to move on from the suggestion of us signing Jesse Lingard in January.

That is the view of The West Ham Way Podcast host Dave Walker, who was speaking after speculation again has picked up, suggesting the club are set to make a move to sign the player on a free transfer following his exit from FC Seoul.

It’s another transfer window and yet again we are linked with signing former loanee Jesse Lingard.

Look, I can see and understand why we are linked with a move for him, following what was an incredible loan spell at the club – but that was 5 years ago! Its not for me.

Lingard is not getting any younger and lets be honest, the last time he was in the Premier League he completely flopped.

Yes, he’d had a successful time in South Korea – but that is not this league. So regardless of his success there, I don’t see how that suddenly makes him an attractive player to bring in.

Thanks for the memories Jesse, but lets leave this one alone.
