Three Premier League clubs are battling for released Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.

The Mirror says Lingard finds himself at the centre of a three-way transfer battle.

The England international is a free agent after being released by the Reds last month and Everton, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in his signature.

The former Reds ace was the subject of interest from Newcastle in January, but United blocked him from leaving on loan.

The Magpies now have the chance to sign him on a permanent deal without the need for a transfer fee.
