The Hammers are firmly in the running for Lingard according to the odds.
- West Ham cut into second-favourites to sign Lingard this month
- Sheffield United still at the front of the market at 2/1
West Ham slashed into 5/2 to sign Jesse Lingard
Two bookmakers cut their odds from 15/2 into 5/2 on the move this afternoon after the news broke that West Ham were interested in signing Lingard.
You can still get a best price of 9/1 with one bookmaker on oddschecker.
David Moyes is reportedly a big fan of Lingard’s since his days at Manchester United, and wants to reunite at West Ham.
The 28-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United. He has only started one game this season and that was against Luton Town in the Carabao Cup.
It looks increasingly likely that Lingard’s future lies away from Old Trafford, and West Ham are now firmly in the running to sign him according to the odds.
Sheffield United still favourites to sign Lingard
However, Sheffield United are still favourites with the bookmakers at 2/1. The Blades registered their interest in Lingard a few days ago and saw their odds cut on signing the midfielder.
7/2 last month, their odds have been cut throughout the last few days into 2/1.
Chris Wilder will need an incredible transfer window to have any chance of avoiding relegation this year, and Lingard may be part of the puzzle. A loan move could work well for everyone involved, with
Lingard sure to be frustrated with his lack of football in recent months.
Elsewhere in the market, Real Sociedad are third in the market, with two firms going as short as 11/4 on the Spanish side, but they are as big as 6/1 in one place.
