Hammer Jesse Lingard is the top-rated January signing in Europe‘s top five leagues according to WhoScored
Lingard was rated at 7.64 in the number one spot in Europe
Frederic Guilbert came second on loan to RC Strasbourg Alsace from Aston Villa with a score of 7.41
Adam Ounas is third on loan to FC Crotone rated at 7.25
Okay Yokuslu is placed fourth at West Bromwich Albion rated at 7.17
Antonio Sanabria at Torino FC completes the top five with a score of 7.07
West Ham paid Manchester United a loan fee of £1.5m plus £2.5m in wages for Jesse’s loan deal plus another £500,000 if the Hammers qualify for Europe.
In return, Lingard has scored eight goals and made three assist in just nine appearances for the Hammers.
Potentially Lingard is the best West Ham January signing of all time and with seven games left they is still more to come before he completes his loan deal.
