Tottenham have been linked with a move for free agent Jesse Lingard this summer but look set to miss out on the former Manchester United forward.
Spurs, Everton, Newcastle and West Ham have all been linked with a move for the 29-year-old who has not been short of attractive offers following the expiry of his contract at Old Trafford. Antonio Conte's side have already added Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison to their ranks ahead of a busy 2022/23 campaign, with the Lilywhites also registering an interest in bringing Lingard to north London.
Tottenham were initially pursuing a deal for free agent Christian Eriksen, but the Danish playmaker looks set to join Manchester United ahead of a return to Spurs. This shows Conte is targeting a creative midfielder this summer and the club reportedly see Lingard as a strong alternative option to Eriksen.
