Jesse Lingard has revealed why he chose to make the switch to Nottingham Forest - and says regular football is the key to getting the best out of him.
The 29-year-old agreed to a one-year contract with the Reds after being released from Manchester United this summer. Lingard had a host of clubs chasing his signature, including West Ham where he had a successful loan stint during the second half of 2020/21 season.
