It is clear for everyone to see that David Moyes is prioritising the addition of at least one top class centre-forward this summer.
The Scot will be desperately keen to bring Lingard to the London Stadium on a permanent basis as well.
Signing Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham and Manchester United owned ace Jesse Lingard will not come cheap, however.
That’s according to club insiders Claret and Hugh.
West Ham allegedly will have to pay £45 million for Tammy Abraham and Jesse Lingard
That seems like very good value for those two players. We have to say though, it will surely cost us more if we are to sign the England international duo.
Signing Lingard and Abraham could be transformational for the Hammers.
Chelsea have a history of demanding huge fees for their players, however. So it will be surprising if we are able to sign Tammy, 23, for anything less than £35 million.
Lingard’s price, meanwhile, would have sky rocketed after his fine form for West Ham. It would be no surprise if Man United demanded at least £25 million for the 28-year-old.

We think we will have to pay close to £60 million for the pair. And in all honesty, that would still be good value.
Whether the West Ham owners will be prepared to spend that kind of cash on two players, however, is another matter entirely.
