Newcastle United want Jesse Lingard
Newcastle United are interested in signing Jesse Lingard from Manchester United on loan until the end of the season, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The Magpies have already attracted Chris Wood and Kieran Trippier to St James’ Park this month as Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-led consortium begin to make their mark on Newcastle in the first transfer window since last year’s takeover.
West Ham and Tottenham are both reportedly interested in securing Lingard’s services when his United contract runs out in the summer, but the Lancashire club would better benefit from a loan deal to secure a loan fee and move the winger off their wage bill.
It is understood that Lingard, still preferring a switch to London, is yet to express interest in Toon’s overtures.
