David Moyes says he was “surprised” that Jesse Lingard chose a potential relegation scrap with Nottingham Forest over European football with West Ham after the club made a “fantastic offer” to bring the midfielder back to the London Stadium.
Speaking ahead of the Hammers’ season opener against Manchester City, Moyes also admitted his side are “not ready” for the start of the new campaign and insisted his current squad is not good enough to break into the top six, with more signings needed before the end of the window.
