Jesse Lingard claim made as former Crystal Palace striker offers his verdict on West Ham United

Signing Jesse Lingard could have made the difference for West Ham last season in their quest for Champions League football.

That's the verdict of former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison, who reckons the Hammers may struggle to compete on multiple fronts again this season without making more additions in the transfer market.

Last season, West Ham were pushing for a place in the top four for a large part of the season, only for David Moyes' side to eventually finish seventh in the table behind Arsenal and Manchester United. As a result, the Hammers are now set to compete in the Europa Conference League this season, having reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last term, where they lost out to Eintracht Frankfurt over two legs.
