West Ham are believed to be continuing in the pursuit to sign Manchester United attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard this summer.
The 28-year-old is wanted by the Hammers after spending a successful loan spell in east London in the second half of last season.
Irons’ boss David Moyes has since openly admitted a desire to bring the England man back to the London Stadium and it would seem that hasn’t dwindled.
Reputable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has told The United Stand, via Football Transfers that West Ham are still on the hunt for Lingard.

The 29 times capped ace enjoyed a remarkable spell with the Hammers and helped fire Moyes’ side to Europa League qualification.
Scoring nine goals and registering another five assists in just 16 Premier League outings, Lingard certainly left a last impression in east London.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Signing the versatile forward would delight Moyes, the squad and fans alike given the impact on and off the field last season.
Valued at £19.8mmilion and in the final 12 months of a contract at Old Trafford (Transfermarkt), West Ham would be confident of agreeing a reasonable fee for the ace.
Despite interest from Tottenham and a previous £30million asking price, as time goes by and following the arrival of Jadon Sancho to Manchester, the Irons must become increasingly confident of landing their man.
