Lingard holds tight for call-up

|

Jesse Lingard is still hoping he will be called up for England’s 26-man squad after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s unfortunate injury in the friendly against Austria.

Lingard started the match and played a pivotal role in the game’s only goal and could be the beneficiary of the Liverpool star’s misfortune.

Despite being offered the chance to return home after being informed he was not in Southgate’s final squad Lingard remained  with with the training camp to show his commitment to the cause and now has a chance at competing in his second major international tournament.

The 28-year old attacking midfielder remains a Hammer technically until the end of the month when the loan with Manchester United expires.

David Moyes hopes a bid of around £20m will persuade Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to do the right thing by his player and allow him to play week in, week out for the Hammers next season.

    Calling Trent Alexander-Arnold a Liverpool star is stretching it a lot.

    Reminds me of when Trevor Sinclair flew all the way home from Korea, only to be told to get back on cos he was in. Trevor obviously went on to be one of the stars of the tournament!! ⚒️
