According to Sky Sports, West Ham believe think they have a ‘ten per cent’ chance of signing Lingard.
The midfielder had a brilliant second half of last season, scoring nine goals for the Hammers.
And managed to force his way back into England contention for the Euros squad.
TOP 10
Manchester United are hoping to sell 10 players this month to fund moves for Atletico Madrid star Kieran Trippier and Rennes ace Eduardo Camavinga.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to assemble a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title after back-to-back top-four finishes.
According to ESPN, the Red Devils are looking to recoup £100million, with Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial, Phil Jones and Diogo Dalot up for sale.
Andreas Pereira, Daniel James, Alex Telles, Axel Tuanzebe and Brandon Williams are also believed to have been deemed as surplus to requirements.

NOT FINE

Kane was scheduled to return to practice on Monday following a short holiday he took after Euro 2020.
According to Sky Sports, Spurs are going to fine the England international and it is understood the club is “disappointed by his actions.
Kane had told the north Londoners he wanted to leave this summer with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all interested in signing him
JESS DO IT
Liverpool ace Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been advised to follow in Manchester United player Jesse Lingard’s footsteps and seek a loan deal away in order to find himself.
That is according to former Reds star Glenn Johnson, who believes West Ham would have been a great prospect for Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Johnson told BettingOdds.com: “Yes. Possibly. West Ham’s a fantastic football club and they will let Alex enjoy his football.
“Hopefully his body can get through all of next season. But I think West Ham United and Oxlade-Chamberlain would be a perfect fit.
“Moyes would take the shackles off him, let him go and enjoy himself, and see what he can do. Touch wood Alex can stay fit and get back to his best”
LOC & LOAD
Chelsea could be set to hand Arsenal a major transfer boost in their bid to sign Sassuolo ace Manuel Locatelli.
Reports from Italy suggest that Juventus are interested in Blues player Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Bakayoko has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge in the last three years having been sent out on loan to AC Milan, Monaco and Napoli.
However, Locatelli still seems to prefer a move to Juve this summer
LUK OUT
Inter Milan star Romelu Lukaku is back on Chelsea’s radar during the summer transfer window.
In fact, Lukaku has jumped back to the top of the Blues’ wanted list of strikers, according to the Daily Telegraph.
That is because Borussia Dortmund are not willing to sell star centre-forward Erling Haaland.
However, Inter are also not keen on offloading the Belgium international, even though there will be a major overhaul following the coronavirus’ financial impact
GETTY IMAGES RAES IS ON
Arsenal are preparing an offer of €30 million (£25.6million) for Lyon star Bruno Guimaraes
According to Globo Esporte, Guimaraes is one of the Gunners’ top midfield targets this summer.
The north Londoners have held a long-standing interest in the 23-year-old and may renew their bid in the next few weeks.
Arsenal chief executive Edu reportedly tried to land the Brazil international from Athletico Paranaense back in January 2020 but he opted to sign for the Ligue 1 outfit instead.
OL OUT
AC Milan star Olivier Giroud revealed he left Chelsea because “the time had come”.
Giroud said: “The time had come to leave Chelsea and discover a new league.
“God wanted me to play for Milan. This is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I really believe in the project here.
“We’ve got what it takes to have a very good Champions League campaign”
TRANSFER LISTED
Arsenal are reportedly set to sell six players during the summer transfer window.
That is according to the Daily Express, who report that Hector Bellerin, Eddie Nketiah, Willian, Sead Kolasinac, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson may leave this month.
The Gunners are looking to add to their squad before the transfer window slams shut at the end of the month.
However, the north Londoners’ boss Mikel Arteta will need to sell first in order to raise funds
OD MAN OUT
Real Madrid could sell Martin Odegaard during the summer transfer window.
That is according to Football London, who report that new Real boss Carlo Ancelotti has some doubts about Odegaard’s role in the team.
The playmaker wants to stay and fight for a place in Ancelotti’s starting line-up but it seems like the Italian will continue with Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Luka Modric in the middle of the park.
The Norway international spent the second half of last season on loan at the Gunners, who wish to sign him on a permanent basis this summer

GREAL BLOW
Manchester City’s hopes of landing Tottenham star Harry Kane this summer will end with the arrival of Jack Grealish.
City submitted a £100million offer for Grealish and look to finalise their first major signing of the summer.
According to Manchester Evening News, a move for Kane will no longer be financially viable if the Aston Villa star joins.
That is unless the Citizens make significant player sales in the summer transfer window.
The Spurs superstar is valued at more than £100m by the north Londoners, who do not want to sell their talismanic striker.
However, the 28-year-old didn’t show up for training today and thus a possible transfer saga could get messy
POCH ON POGBA

“I think the performance was good, I am happy, and I don’t want to talk about names of players who are in other clubs”
RODGERS ON MADDISON
Leicester ace James Maddison wants to stay at King Power Stadium, according to Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers.
Rodgers said: “In conversations with the club, we don’t have to sell. That’s something that’s been made clear.
“The players want to stay. It’s a really exciting time at the club.
“There’s lots of gossip and speculation around but I’m loving working with the guys here, they love being here, and we certainly have no need to sell. So I would suspect we’re looking to keep our best players”
TOP GUI
Liverpool are set to rival Arsenal for Real Betis ace Guido Rodriguez.
According to Fichajes, the Reds are keeping tabs on Rodriguez as they are looking for a midfielder to take Georginio Wijnaldum’s place.
The 27-year-old helped Argentina win this summer’s Copa America.
And now a bidding war could be on the cards
GETTY IMAGES NEVER SAY NEVES
Manchester United target Ruben Neves has spoken to Wolves TV on new boss Bruno Lage.
Neves has been linked with a move to United with Paul Pogba’s future up in the air, but it seems the midfielder is happy to stay at Molineux.
The Portugal international said: “He’s a very good coach. I am really happy to work with him.
“I spoke with a few friends when he signed for Wolves – that were players in Benfica and are good friends of mine – and they said a lot of good things about him.
“I can see it now. He’s a very good coach with lots of good ideas. I think that when things are completely together, we’ll be a really hard team to beat”
WHEN IN ROM
Tottenham are close to signing Atalanta star Cristian Romero in the summer transfer window.
That is according to Football London, who claim that discussions have taken place between the two sides and an agreement close to £43million is close.
The deal is in its final stages, with Romero keen to join the north Londoners and the centre-back has already agreed terms with the club.
With an agreement in principle between the two clubs, the transfer is now just awaiting Atalanta’s chase for a replacement
ARSENAL TRANSFER PLANS
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has told £50million arrival Ben White that he won’t be his last significant transfer this summer, according to the Athletic.
The Gunners have been linked with a move for Inter Milan centre-forward Lautaro Martinez, while James Maddison and Martin Odegaard have also been mentioned as Arsenal targets.
Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares have already been brought in by Arteta this summer.
But with the promise of more to come then Arsenal fans can start to get excited about the 2021/22 season
HAALAND EXCLUSIVE
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s new contract could put Manchester United in pole position to sign Borussia Dortmund superstar Erling Haaland next year, reports SunSport’s Phil Thomas.
United narrowly missed out on Haaland when he left Red Bull Salzburg for Dortmund 18 months ago.
The 21-year-old has a close relationship with his fellow countryman and was unwilling to take the chance on moving to Old Trafford if the manager was about to be sacked.
Both the star striker and his father, former Manchester City star Alf-Inge, admitted they did not want to risk working under a boss they had no vibe for if Solskjaer was axed.
The United boss gave the Norway international his debut as a teenager at Molde.
And now that his own long-term future has been secured after signing a new three-year contract last week, the Red Devils’ top brass hope that will leave them as favourites to sign Haaland next summer
GETTY IMAGES KOUNDE RECAP
Tottenham ace Davinson Sanchez is reportedly in talks over a transfer to Sevilla to replace Chelsea target Jules Kounde, according to SunSport’s Dylan Terry.

And according to The Mail, if Kounde’s transfer is confirmed, talks could intensify as the LaLiga side search for someone to fill his boots.
And the France international’s replacement could be Sanchez
KANE RECAP

And with Kane failing to show up for training this morning this transfer saga could get messy…
