Tottenham Hotspur 'want to sign Jesse Lingard on loan'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on a loan move for Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard.

The speculation surrounding the England international's future continues to gather pace, with a number of clubs thought to be interested in signing him on loan for the second half of the 2020-21 campaign.

The 28-year-old has been restricted to just three appearances for United this term, while he has not played a single minute of Premier League football in 2020-21.

Sheffield United have recently been linked with Lingard, but according to talkSPORT, Tottenham are also interested in signing the attacker during the January window.

The FA Cup winner was a regular under Spurs boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford, but he has fallen out of favour under current United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Lingard's existing deal with the 20-time English champions is due to expire in June 2022.
