Former Manchester United and West Ham midfielder Jesse Lingard has agreed a two-year contract with South Korean side FC Seoul.
The 31-year-old has completed a medical and is in Seoul to finalise his move.
Lingard has been without a club since leaving Nottingham Forest last summer.
He was reluctant to join Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia following a trial in October.
Lingard had grown frustrated after several enquires failed to materialise and, amid a lack of Premier League interest, last month sacked his agents – including members of his own family.
West Ham were among the clubs reluctant to sign Lingard last month despite his successful loan spell in 2021.
His move to six-time K League winners FC Seoul is considered a positive choice for Lingard, who believes South Korea will offer him a better lifestyle.
He also wants to expand his off-field interests in Esports, fashion and restaurant businesses in Korea.
