Tottenham have jumped into the battle for released Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.

West Ham and Everton are in contact with Lingard.

But the Telegraph says he could be snapped up by Spurs.

Manager Antonio Conte has already brought in attackers Ivan Perisic and Richarlison as well as Yves Bissouma further back.

But Lingard would offer something in between primarily as a creative midfielder where he has previously shone for England.

The new signings also take Conte over the non-homegrown quota for Tottenham's Champions League return this season so the former United academy star would help on that front, too.
