Lingard agrees FC Seoul contract

Former Manchester United and West Ham midfielder Jesse Lingard is heading to Asia.

The attacking midfielder is signing on the dotted line with FC Seoul in South Korea.

The 31-year-old has finalised the deal and completed his medical, per The Standard.

Lingard, who has been without a club since the summer when he left Nottingham Forest, was linked to Saudi Arabia.

He did not join a Saudi Pro League club, but failed to find a European team either.

His move to six-time K League winners FC Seoul is a surprise to many, but not to the player.

Lingard believes he will enjoy the lifestyle in South Korea and is excited about expanding on his off-field interests.
