Hammers boss David Moyes brought the 28-year-old to the London Stadium from Manchester United on loan in January.

Lingard has already proven to be a sensational addition for West Ham, racking up six goals and three assists in just eight Premier League games.

The Hammers fans are desperate for Jesse to be snapped up on a permanent deal in the summer.

It seems as though West Ham could face competition from Tottenham for his signature, however.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho wants to bring the 26-capped England international to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer according to Eurosport.

Much will surely depend on whether or not West Ham or Tottenham manage to qualify for the Champions League.

If David Moyes’s men manage to finish above Jose Mourinho’s side, there is every chance Lingard will be happy to move to East London rather than North London.

We do have the advantage that he has spent a few months with us already and seems more than happy.

Tottenham’s alleged interest in signing Jesse Lingard could still definitely represent somewhat of a problem for West Ham, however.
