Lingard completes move to South Korean club FC Seoul

The former Manchester United and England international Jesse Lingard has officially joined FC Seoul in South Korea.

After his contract expired at Nottingham Forest at the end of last season, where he made 20 appearances, Lingard had been without a club. 

The 31-year-old has now inked a two-year deal with the K-League club, including an option for an additional year.

Despite training with West Ham United, one of his former clubs, for several weeks in the first half of the season, a deal did not materialise, as confirmed by manager David Moyes. 

Lingard then continued his training with Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq, led by Steven Gerrard, but ultimately, a move did not happen.
