Everton join West Ham in battle for Man Utd midfielder Jesse Lingard

Everton are interested in Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.

Everton are the latest club to show an interest in signing Lingard from United this summer, according to London press reports.

Lingard's United career looked all-but over until he was shipped out on loan to West Ham for the second half of last season, where he enjoyed a brilliant stint and forced his way back into the Old Trafford outfit's thinking and the England set-up.

Everton face competition however from the likes of West Ham, who are keen to sign him permanently following his impressive loan spell at the London Stadium, while Atletico Madrid are reportedly interested in his services too.

Everton's new boss Rafa Benitez is prioritising signings on the wing as he looks to provide Dominic Calvert-Lewin with extra artillery up top.
