Lingard leaves United on a free and could join Spurs

Jesse Lingard did not reach an agreement to extend his contract with Manchester United and became a free agent on 1st July. The English winger will have to search for a new club for next season

West Ham, Everton and Newcastle were mainly interested in his services. However, in the last few hours, another team in the famous 'big six' has joined the race for the attacker.

As reported by 'The Telegraph', Antonio Conte gave the go-ahead for Tottenham to pursue Lingard in this transfer window. The North London club are trying to put together a good squad and are looking for important signings.

After announcing the signing of Richarlison, Spurs could make an effort to sign the now former Manchester United attacker. We will have to see which team will make offer.

In England, meanwhile, reports are claiming that Lingard would be willing to negotiate with any club. The Englishman has not yet ruled out any possibility and will take a few more days to announce his final decision.
