The 28-year-old has been in sensational form since moving to the London Stadium on loan from Manchester United in January until the end of the season.
Lingard has been a real difference maker for West Ham.
He scored two goals on his debut for the Hammers away at Aston Villa and despite a quiet outing against Fulham he was back to his best against Sheffield United last night.
Rio Ferdinand raves about West Ham ace Jesse Lingard
Jesse played a key role in our victory. The 28-year-old won the penalty that was subsequently converted by Declan Rice to give us the lead.
And Rio Ferdinand told BT Sport how Lingard was the standout man for the Hammers last night:
“What a tremendous performance. What they had is a guy in Jesse Lingard who just looks like a different character. He’s the one who’s lighting this stadium up at the moment. Get the ball to him and things happen, it comes alive.”
Hopefully Lingard keeps producing the goods between now and the end of the season.
If he does, West Ham need to make signing him permanently an absolute priority.
He makes such a difference to David Moyes’s team. We attack with fluency and decisiveness when Jesse is involved.
And let’s just hope that there is still a lot more to come from the 28-year-old.
