# Trevor Sinclair believes Jesse Lingard could still return to West Ham

Former England midfielder Trevor Sinclair has suggested [Jesse Lingard](https://readwestham.com/2021/10/16/virals-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-clarifies-jesse-lingard-contract-situation/) could still make a sensational return to [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/10/29/virals-west-ham-interested-in-spartak-moscow-forward-jordan-larsson/).

The 28-year-old ace enjoyed a [superb loan spell](https://www.sofascore.com/player/jesse-lingard/205508) at the London Stadium last season and has since gone back to being somewhat of an also-ran at Manchester United.

Despite [speculation](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/lingard-james-diallo-transfer-united-21431718) linking the attacking midfielder with an immediate Irons’ reunion, Lingard opted to stay at Old Trafford for the foreseeable.

However, speaking on [talkSPORT (Friday, October 29 9:30am)](https://talksport.com/radio/schedule/), Sinclair tipped the England international to make a long-awaited comeback.

> He looked like he owned the place! The boys loved him. If West Ham keep up their good form and Jesse does reach the end of his contract, I wouldn’t put it past him going back to West Ham.

So far this season Lingard has [scored twice in seven appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesse-lingard/leistungsdaten/spieler/141660) across all competitions – amassing just 55 minutes in the Premier League.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £19.8million and in the final eight months of a contract in Manchester ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesse-lingard/marktwertverlauf/spieler/141660)), snapping up Lingard for nothing would still be a major coup.

Albeit David Moyes has rightfully moved on from the [32-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesse-lingard/nationalmannschaft/spieler/141660/verein_id/3299) star, for now, an opportunity to sign any top-level player as a free agent cannot be overlooked.

Lingard’s [versatility](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesse-lingard/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/141660) would mean he remains a worthwhile inclusion in any Premier League squad – including West Ham’s.
