Lingard wages crash through the floor

How the once mighty are humbled as is certainly the case with Jesse Lingard who wages level have crashed through the floor with an alleged new move to South Korea!

Having allegedly sacked his agent/s brother and/or Dad the one time Hammers loanee has finally found a club after spending weeks training with us in the summer before failing to get a gig in Saudi Arabia.

He has had to travel to South Korea where he has  apparently about to seal a deal with six times league champions FC Seoul.

It’s certainly not the greatest place to play one’s football and his salary is at about the same level as it would have been as an aspiring kid at Manchester United.

According to reports he become the highest-paid player in the K-League if his alleged salary is true – which is believed to be £17,.500 a week – very long way off his salary in the Premier League.

It was claimed that 26 teams were interested in Lingard, including  Lazio, but his arrival in South Korea suggests that is where he is heading.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy!
