‘Please no’, ‘Needed’: Some Arsenal fans react to interest in £30m West Ham target – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Arsenal could offer stiff competition to West Ham United in the race to sign Jesse Lingard from Manchester United this summer, The Star reports.
The Gunners were reportedly keen on landing Lingard on loan from the Red Devils in January, but the Red Devils rejected the approach as they were not keen on boosting the top-four prospects of the north London club.
As a result, the 28-year-old was loaned out to the Hammers, who are now right in the mix for the Champions League places. Lingard has played a key part with six goals and four assists in just eight league appearances.
Lingard will enter the final year of his contract in July. United were hoping to sell him for around £10 million, but with his recent resurgence with the Hammers, it is reported that they could demand as much as £30m.
Mikel Arteta’s side are likely to compete with the Hammers for his signature. The story has produced a mixed response from the club’s faithful and here are some of the reactions on Twitter.

If this were true, as much as I dislike us playing against him, I’d take him at Arsenal in a heartbeat.
