Dean Henderson has joked he was the man behind Jesse Lingard’s record-breaking Nottingham Forest transfer.
Lingard completed his stunning move to the City Ground on Thursday, becoming the club’s highest-paid player in their illustrious history. The former Manchester United star has signed a one-year contract with Steve Cooper’s side, bringing in £80,000-per-week.
His decision to join Forest came somewhat out of left field, with the expectation being he would return to West Ham. The England international spent the second half of the 2020/21 season at the London Stadium - enjoying a career revitalising spell under David Moyes.
