Jesse Lingard's Nottingham Forest move sparks bizarre spat between Gabby Agbonlahor and Richard Keys

The transfer of Jesse Lingard to Nottingham Forest has sparked a bizarre war of words between former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor and broadcaster Richard Keys.

The England international joined Steve Cooper's side on Thursday in a one-year deal reportedly worth around £200,000-a-week following his release by Manchester United. Lingard became the Reds' 11th signing of the summer and links up with former Old Trafford teammate Dean Henderson.

Reports had suggested the 29-year-old was in line to re-join West Ham United after enjoying a short loan spell at the London Stadium in 2021. Lingard scored nine goals and registered five assists in 16 games for David Moyes' side, but it is thought his wage demands were too high for the Hammers to accept.
