Jesse Lingard Is Set to Move to South Korean Club!

Former Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard is on the verge of a surprising move to FC Seoul in the K League 1. The 31-year-old, now a free agent after departing Nottingham Forest last summer, has verbally agreed to a two-year deal, with an option for an additional year.

Lingard chose this move over offers from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, citing his intrigue with the South Korean option according to reports. The Englishman's decision follows his recent decision to part ways with his agents, including family members, in his quest for a new club.

Expressing frustration over the lack of contract offers since leaving Forest, Lingard had come close to joining Al Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia in October, but the deal fell through. Lingard's last professional match was in April for Nottingham Forest. With them, Lingard made 20 appearances and scored twice during his one-season stint.

The Englishman is set to complete the move to FC Seoul, five-time winners of the K League 1 in the coming days.
