Jenas makes plea to Forest midfielder Lingard

Former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas says Jesse Lingard still has it all to prove at Nottingham Forest.

Released by Manchester United, Lingard signed a one-year contract with Forest, but has so far failed to deliver on expectations.

However, Jenas believes the midfielder still has time to come good as Forest battle against the drop.

He said, "They spent so much money on Jesse and he hasn't delivered. Forest have a tough end to the season and now he has to step up."

Lingard has only recorded 2 goals and 2 assists in 19 games.
