Nottingham Forest have made a substantial offer to sign Jesse Lingard and are in talks with his representatives.
There was a growing feeling Lingard would choose West Ham as his next club. They too have a proposal and are awaiting a decision.
Lingard has other offers too - from the Premier League and abroad - and is expected to decide soon where he goes next.
The 29-year-old is a free agent after his contract at Manchester United expired on June 30.
Lingard scored nine goals and registered five assists for West Ham during a successful loan spell in 2021. He made 231 appearances for Manchester United in all competitions, scoring 35 goals.
Chelsea are also preparing a bid to challenge Manchester United for the signing of Barcelona and the Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 25.
Hands off!
