Summer always means a lot of transfer rumors. One of the more persistent has been that Arsenal should be ready to pay 90 million for the English national team player James Maddison. If the deal becomes a reality, Leicester will probably have to go out and bring in a player who can cover the gap in the offense. Here the election should have landed on Jesse Lingard.
The 28-year-old Englishman was on a loan spell at West Ham in the last half of last season, after Lingard had smoked completely out in the cold at Ole Gunner Solskjær. It turned into nine goals and six assists in 16 Premier League clashes for West Ham, which has now caught Leicester's attention.
Jesse Lingard is a product of Manchester United's youth work. There were high hopes when he was promoted to United's first team. However, expectations have never been met, which is why it may be time for Lingard to seek new pastures. It has turned into 210 matches in the United shirt with 33 goals and 20 assists as a result.
