Over the summer, the Wolves were linked to a free agent, and recent sources have revealed if they will try to sign the player.
Jesse Lingard, an offensive midfielder from England, has been mentioned in connection with Wolves. Since the end of the previous season, the player has not been successful in finding a new team.
After his one-year contract at Nottingham Forest expired, Lingard did not sign a new one, and he is currently looking for a new team. West Ham, a Premier League rival, has also been mentioned.
Wolves are now ‘unlikely’ to sign Lingard this summer, according to a report from The Birmingham Mail. Due to his availability on a free transfer, the player is still one that clubs can sign.
Why Wolves may not be signing Jesse Lingard
When playing at his best in the Premier League, the ‘stunning’ midfielder was unstoppable, but he has been struggling to recapture his form for some time.
Lingard did not play well during his one season at Nottingham Forest and found it difficult to make an impact in the Premier League. In his 17 games in the Premier League, he failed to score or assist once.
Given this plus the player’s stated wage of £200,000 per week during the previous season, it is clear why Wolves are not enticed to make a transfer.
Even if the offensive midfielder agrees to a pay cut, at the age of 30, it is possible that his finest years are behind him.
He would be a fantastic player if someone could help him regain his greatest form. His ability to make 32 appearances for England serves as evidence of this.
Wolves have presumably determined that it’s best for them to refrain from making a deal for Lingard despite the fact that he is available due to the risk involved.
