West Ham boss Moyes keeps door open for Lingard return

West Ham boss David Moyes won't rule out re-signing Jesse Lingard.

A free agent after leaving Nottingham Forest over the summer, the former Manchester United midfielder has been training with the Irons.

"Jesse has trained with us for three weeks and he's improved greatly from when he first came in," Moyes told talkSPORT on Tuesday.

"He's in really good condition – much better condition than he was when he first came in.

"I have to say, when Jesse joined us two years ago I think he scored nine goals in 15 games and was probably the difference between us getting into Europe for the first time.

"I want to give him every opportunity to get himself back in condition and see how he does.

"So there's no real update on it at the moment, just to say that he's back and getting much closer to the levels of fitness where you'd hope he would be."
