Jesse Lingard, a target for Everton, departs as West Ham United manager David Moyes provides an update
Jesse Lingard, a free agent who has been linked to Everton, has received an update from West Ham boss David Moyes.
Although the former Manchester United attacker has been practicing at the London Stadium, the Hammers have not yet made a formal decision.
The 30-year-old was seen leaving for Dubai on Friday, September 22, after posting an image to Twitter.
Six Foot Two’s editor took to Twitter to share that “A fresh report has linked Lingard to move to Everton as a free agent but in a separate twist today he published a photo of himself on a Emirates plane headed to Dubai.”
Moyes said, “I think Jesse is starting to get himself back, he’s had the best part of a month now like pre-season work and is involved in a lot of the football. So he’s doing well but we’ve got no real update to give you from what I’ve said before.
“But we’re happy to try and get Jesse in the right condition.”

Not worth it
Lingard’s severely lacking match fitness and his recent performances for Nottingham Forest suggest he’s no longer worth his grain of salt.
He had arguably the best spell in his career at West Ham and despite training there for a month, Moyes has not decided on signing him.
It seems clear that there are issues and obviously the manager cannot be that vocal about them.
Everton are well stacked in the wide areas and it’s about Sean Dyche finding everyone to sing from the same hymn sheet at Goodison Park.
Right now, their approach to games seems haphazard and things need to change quickly as they’re already in the relegation zone.
With the chaos surrounding the takeover, there’s nobody who has the authority to sack him either so it’s all pretty messy.
In other Everton news, a condition has now emerged on Sean Dyche being sacked amid trouble behind the scenes at Goodison Park.
