Long considered one of the future great English football players, Jesse Lingard would be heading to the Korean championship at just 31 years old. According to BBC Sports, the FC Seoul club offered him a two-year contract.
Without clubs since the off-season, Lingard had once been announced to Barcelona who wanted to believe in him and said they were ready to relaunch him, but the discussions were unsuccessful. Earlier in the season, the Englishman trained with the West Ham club as well as Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia without this leading to a contract.
Kim Gi-dong, FC Seoul coach, spoke about the probable arrival of Jesse Lingard in the Korean championship. “I heard about it two or three weeks ago and thought it was impossible. I asked our director of football operations and he confirmed that we were in contact with him, but that nothing had been decided yet. If he comes, of course it would be great for the K-League (the Korean championship), a lot of foreign fans would then be interested in our championship. did he declare.
