Darren Randolph has hinted that West Ham could still bring Jesse Lingard to the London Stadium this summer, after his excellent loan spell. Lingard reignited his career on loan at West Ham during last season. Now, Randolph has teased a move – and West Ham fans have reacted on Twitter.

Lingard, 28, had fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United during the first half of 2020-21. But the England international has found his form again, shining on loan at West Ham during the second half of last term. Clocking up 16 outings for West Ham, Lingard netted nine goals.

What are West Ham fans saying about Lingard, and the message from Randolph?

With West Ham set to begin their Europa League campaign in the coming weeks, David Moyes needs depth in his Hammers side. The London club lack options in the final third and a replacement striker is needed. But another attacking midfielder would certainly not go amiss.

Lingard can play as a false nine, while Jarrod Bowen is more than adept at leading the line. So, bringing in Lingard could see West Ham’s need for a replacement for Michail Antonio lessen. West Ham fans have reacted on Twitter to Randolph and his post – and think Lingard is returning.
