David Moyes answered live on air when asked if West Ham United will sign Jesse Lingard.
West Ham manager David Moyes appeared on talkSPORT this morning (Tuesday, September 12th, 9:13am) and discussed Jesse Lingard’s prospective return to the London Stadium.
The 30-year-old has been training with the Hammers over the past few months.
In true Lingard fashion, he has been throwing hints about a reunion with West Ham all over social media recently.
But will he resign or not? This morning, Moyes provided an update on the situation…
David Moyes reacts live on air when asked if West Ham will sign Jesse Lingard.
Lingard was mentioned, obviously, during an interview with Ally McCoist and Andy Townsend this morning.
When questioned if there is any truth to the Hammers’ claims that Jesse could be offered a deal, Moyes responded:
“Jesse has been training with us for three weeks, and he’s improved greatly since he first arrived, and he’s in much better shape now than when he first arrived.” But I have to say that when Jesse first joined us, he was definitely the difference. I want to give him every chance. There is currently no actual update on this. He’s back and coming closer to the fitness levels we want him to have.”
If Lingard can demonstrate that he is totally fit, I am confident that West Ham will grant him a short-term contract.
On his day, the 30-year-old can be a game-changer, and Hammers fans are well aware of his abilities.
During his loan time with us in the 2020/21 season, he scored nine goals and provided four assists in 16 Premier League games.
David Moyes clearly adores Jesse Lingard, and I don’t think it’ll be long until he returns to the London Stadium.

Pierre Ekwah talks West Ham’s transfer decision and what he’s learned at Sunderland under Tony Mowbray. Pierre Ekwah discusses his transfer from West Ham to Sunderland and what he’s learned since signing for The Black Cats.
Pierre Ekwah admits he wasn’t ready to break into the West Ham first team, but he believes he’s found the ideal spot at Sunderland.
The 21-year-old midfielder joined the Black Cats in January for a pittance and has since established himself as a first-team regular on Wearside.
When asked why West Ham let him go, Ekwah, who scored twice in Sunderland’s 5-0 victory against Southampton, said, “I think it was good recruitment.” Sunderland made a solid hire, in my opinion.
“If I didn’t make it, it could mean I wasn’t ready to play.” The manager at West Ham had his reasons for not allowing me to play.
“I think my path, I was meant to be here, and that’s it.”
Ekwah credits his success at Sunderland to playing on a youthful team and working with a coaching staff that believes in giving young players a chance.
The midfielder had to wait until the end of March to make his debut for Sunderland, but he claims he’s learned a lot in his short time on Wearside.
“I came in January to a really good team,” Ekwah said when questioned about his experiences at Sunderland. “They were vying for the playoffs.”
“You can’t just show up as a 21s player and expect to play; you have to earn it.”
“I try my best to earn it and felt like I earned it, and my mentality never changed. You always have to work and have to earn it.
When I felt like I had earned it, I seized the opportunity.”
“You gain experience by playing games,” he continues. “When you have a staff like this, I definitely agree that you have to play to get better.”
“I’m miles better than I was when I first came here, so I think I’ll be better in six or seven months because I had that chance from the start from the gaffer to put me on the pitch.”
“When you look at guys like Dan Neil, Danny Ballard, and all the others, they’ve played a lot of games.” They are youthful, yet they are not football players.
That, I believe, is what distinguishes us as a good and challenging squad.”
