Saudi Arabia offer betters Everton and West Ham proposals for Lingard

Released Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard is weighing up accepting an offer from Saud Arabia.

The Athletic reports the former England international is considering an option from Saudi Arabia, which would see him earn $11.8million per year (£10milion).

Despite interest from Wayne Rooney's DC United, Lingard will not be playing his football in America next year.

Rooney, who moved stateside after his stint in charge of Derby County, was hoping to bring his former United team-mate to the U.S - but that looks increasingly unlikely.

Lingard favours a move to another Premier League side, with West Ham already opening negotiations with his agent last month - and Frank Lampard's Everton also interested in the midfielder's services.
