Glenn Hoddle absolutely nailed it when speaking about West Ham ace Jesse Lingard a couple of days ago.

The 28-year-old joined the Hammers on loan from Manchester United in January.

He has been in sensational form for West Ham with four goals and an assist to his name already.

David Moyes bringing Lingard to the London Stadium now looks like an inspired piece of business.

The Man United owned ace has been rewarded for his fine form by receiving a call-up to the England national team ahead of next week’s games.

That really is great news for Lingard and it is for West Ham as well.

Jesse’s return to the England squad will give him belief that he can achieve his ambitions at the London Stadium.

Hopefully the Hammers manage to sign him on a permanent basis in the summer.

And Gareth Southgate calling him up to the Three Lions squad yesterday will certainly enhance our chances of doing just that.

Glenn Hoddle made Jesse Lingard prediction and it was spot on

The 28-year-old will now be looking to make a big impact for England during the three international games next week.

Hoddle suggested that Lingard would be involved with England again when speaking on the The Glenn Hoddle Footy Show a couple of days ago:

“He’s come down to London. It’s almost like he can breathe now. What I have been impressed with is he must have kept himself really fit… to be thrown straight in and stay in the team. He’s played as well as I’ve seen him play. He’ll be there and there abouts for an England call-up again. Playing in a West Ham shirt he doesn’t feel the burden on his shoulders. I think with Man Utd, he sees a lot of stars there, (Bruno) Fernandes, for instance. And I wonder if he thinks to himself, ‘am I as good as him? Am I better than him?’ and that’s what he has to do mentally. He feels that at West Ham. It has nothing to do with his play, his fitness, his technique, his stamina… it’s a mental thing.”

What a great call from Hoddle.

Lingard certainly deserves his call-up to the England squad.

And if he continues to produce the goods for West Ham between now and the end of the season he will likely play a big part for England at the Euros this summer.
