Jesse Lingard is finally back in football! Ex-Man Utd star to complete FC Seoul transfer on two-year contract after passing medical at South Korean club

The former Manchester United and England forward, who has been a free agent since he left Nottingham Forest at the end of the 2022-23 season, has finally found a club for himself. According to The Standard, Lingard has completed his medical at K-League 1 side FC Seoul and is now set to sign a two-year deal with the club.

The 31-year had trained with West Ham and Steven Gerrard-managed Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq in the past few months, although a deal could not be agreed upon. He was also linked with moves to MLS clubs. Before travelling to South Korea, Lingard was keeping himself fit by training alone in Dubai.

Other than reviving his football career, the former United player also wants to keep pursuing his interests outside of football in South Korea. Lingard already owns a clothing company, esports team and media company named 'One Touch Entertainment'.

Lingard is expected to sign on the dotted lines in the next few days and will be available for selection when Seoul begin their 2024 K-League 1 journey on March 2.
