Newcastle United’s attempt to sign Jesse Lingard in the January transfer window failed miserably after a tug-of-war battle with Manchester United over his proposed loan spell involving a financial clause should the Magpies stay up.
But Lingard could still secure a move to St. James’ Park this summer following the expiration of his current contract at the end of the season, after another disappointing campaign of limited opportunities at Old Trafford, as he seems destined to move on.
West Ham United remain keen on bringing him back to the London Stadium after last season’s loan spell success, but talkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist has urged the 29-year-old to sign for Newcastle over the Hammers this summer as it would “make sense”.
