Jesse Lingard Admits West Ham Loan Move Gave Him A ‘new Lease Of Life’

Jesse Lingard has hailed his loan move to West Ham for giving him a ‘new lease of life’ ahead of his potential return to England’s starting line-up on Thursday evening.

Lingard has flourished on loan at the London Stadium after finally ending his Manchester United nightmare, scoring five goals and creating three assists in just seven matches for the Hammers.

And the winger’s fine form, after a long time in obscurity at Old Trafford, recently saw him rewarded with a recall to the Three Lions set-up for their upcoming World Cup qualifying triple-header – starting at Wembley against San Marino on Thursday.

And Lingard has since hailed the role his switch to the Hammers has played in helping him get back into the England fold – with his last cap coming against Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League third-place play-off in 2019.

When asked if a move to West Ham transformed his international chances, Lingard admitted to the FA: ‘One hundred per cent, it’s a bit like a new lease of life. I’ve moved to London, which is a different, different group of lads – all the lads are brilliant at West Ham, they’ve welcomed me with open arms.

‘The staff have been great and the whole club, the whole set-up is really good. I’m playing week in week out and I’m doing something that I love so, for me, it’s been perfect. Like you say, it’s a new lease of life.
