On-loan West Ham star Jesse Lingard has been nominated for the EA Sports Premier League Player of the Month following his fine performances during his first four weeks as a Hammer.
The 28-year-old has kicked-off his Irons career with three goals in his first five league matches, including two in a wonderful debut performance against Aston Villa.
Lingard’s recapturing of form has helped propel David Moyes’ side further up the table, with European dreams becoming more a reality with each passing victory.
The Manchester United loanee will go up against a teammate from his parent club in the shape of Bruno Fernandes who is also up for the award.
Unsurprisingly delighted with their newfound hero, a host of happy Hammers have reacted on Twitter to the attacking midfielder’s recognition…
