West Ham midfielder, Jesse Lingard, has earned himself a spot back in the England squad following his fine form of late and he’s taken to Instagram to show his delight.

The Manchester United loanee has been sensational since arriving in January. He’s already hit four goals for the Hammers and looks like being on the steals of the window by David Moyes.

Gareth Southgate, too, has been suitably impressed and has selected Lingard for the three upcoming international fixtures for the Three Lions.

Naturally, Lingard took to Instagram to celebrate the news earlier, as a host of players, pundits, and teams congratulated him at the same time.

Lingard has always been a popular figure in the footballing world and it showed in the replies to his post, as the likes of Ravel Morrison, Ian Wright, and Declan Rice all took time out to respond.

With Lingard now back in the England fold and looking to kick on, it was nice to see such a response on social media. Here, then, is a look at just what was being said on Instagram as Lingard celebrated his return to the England set up.
