Jesse Lingard Justifies England Recall With West Ham Form

David Moyes believes Jesse Lingard’s recall to the England squad is fully justified.

Lingard was a regular started during the 2018 World Cup but was subsequently dropped due to poor form at Manchester United.

Since joining the Hammers on loan, the 28-year-old has displayed great offensive determination, scoring 4 goals in 6 Premier League appearances.

“I am really pleased for Jesse, it’s great for him, and his performances have warranted it in how he has played for us,” said Moyes. “I have to say he has been very good and we just hope that continues. We want him to be positive and show exactly what he can do on the pitch.

“He has helped us, he has been a good acquisition for the squad in January and I hope he can add a few more goals before the end of the season.”

But Moyes added, “We have not thought about that really, we have not taken it any further at the moment.

“We have him on loan and he is doing a good job for us just now, I think we will discuss that and probably look at it at the end of the season. But it is not something that we have taken any further than the situation we are in just now.”

“He has looked very good this week and I think since he came in everybody has been a bit surprised with how good his fitness is, how good his all-round game is, said Moyes. I can see by the way he is working he is even getting better, his physical data has got better and overall he has been very good for us.

“He has helped us and given us another string to our bow and given us more attacking options, so we are really pleased with him.”
