Saudi Arabia wants Jesse Lingard!

Without a club since his departure from Nottingham Forest this summer, England international Jesse Lingard (30) is currently training with a Saudi club.

Currently without a club, Jesse Lingard could be the next Premier League star to join the Saudi Arabian league. The England international (32 caps, 6 goals), who is out of contract, is now training with Saudi club Al-Ettifaq after leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of last season.

The Saudi club indicated that the English attacking midfielder had been training with Steven Gerrard’s group for several days. “ With the agreement of the management, Al-Ettifaq accepted the request of the English player Jesse Lingard to join the training sessions of the first team, for the duration of one month », We can read in a press release from the Saudi team.

This is a new opportunity for the former Manchester United winger who could, in all likelihood, join the Saudi team. “ I have been observing him for many years and am therefore aware of his talentGerrard told Al Arabiya’s FilMarma sports show. Jesse knows he has the opportunity to try to convince us to add him to the club. »

At the moment, Lingard is simply training with Al-Ettifaq and has not yet signed there. He could do it if his trial goes well since he is free of any contract and can sign at any time.
