Sam Allardyce has revealed he almost signed Jesse Lingard last January while at West Brom.
Lingard has been subject to plenty of interest from several clubs including Newcastle and West Ham, the latter of which he signed for in the winter transfer window.
It has now come to light that the former Baggies boss tried to bring the Manchester United midfielder to the Hawthorns last winter before he joined the Hammers on a successful loan deal.
