The Daily Star is reporting that Tottenham is plotting a move for Manchester United man, Jesse Lingard.
The 27-year-old has struggled for form since Jose Mourinho left Old Trafford in 2018.
The last two seasons have been tough for him as he has lost his place in the Manchester United starting XI and hasn’t started a Premier League game since January.
He reportedly felt like he returned for preseason in top shape and was furious after being left on the bench in Manchester United’s loss against Crystal Palace.
The report claims that Tottenham is prepared to spend £30 million on him and reunite him with Mourinho who believes he can revive his career.
This has been an exciting summer transfer window for Tottenham, but their fans will hardly be excited about the news of Lingard joining them.
They have already landed Gareth Bale and even Dele Alli is struggling to get game time at the moment. It makes no sense to add another underperforming England international to their team.
Spurs started their campaign with a 1-0 loss at home to Everton, but the Lilywhites have now won two of two matches both away from home, and their fans will hope that is a sign of good things to come.
Not sure Lingard qualifies as a good thing to come.
