Hammers want Lingard

West Ham have tabled an offer for Jesse Lingard to return to the London Stadium.

The departing Manchester United midfielder, 29, is set to become a free agent when his contract expires at Old Trafford on July 1.

Though he has struggled for opportunities with the Red Devils in recent years, Lingard enjoyed an outstanding loan with the Hammers during the second half of the 2020-21 campaign — netting nine times in 16 games.

Now David Moyes wants to bring him back to East London with the BBC suggesting a deal has been proposed to the England international.

Lingard, who has been pictured in New York and Paris in recent days, is said to be considering the offer.

Cech leaves Chelsea

Chelsea have announced that Petr Cech will stand down from his role as technical and performance advisor later this week.

The 40-year-old former goalkeeper has been a familiar face in the Blues’ backroom setup for three years but has opted to move on after the recent change of ownership at Stamford Bridge.

Cech told Chelsea’s website: “It has been a huge privilege to perform this role at Chelsea for the past three years. 

“With the club under new ownership, I feel now is the right time for me to step aside. I am pleased that the club is now in an excellent position with the new owners, and I am confident of its future success both on and off the pitch.”

Chairman and co-controlling owner Todd Boehly said: “Petr is an important member of the Chelsea family. 

“We understand his decision to step away and thank him for his contributions as an advisor and his commitment to the club and to our community. We wish him the best.”
