Jesse Lingard is interested in moving to West Ham on a permanent basis at the end of the season, according to ExWHUemployee.
Speaking on the West Ham Way podcast, the insider claims that the 28-year-old has settled well at the London Stadium and would be prepared to stay at the Hammers beyond the end of his loan spell.
Fans on Twitter are delighted that Lingard is apparently open to the move and they believe it would be a massive boost if the club were to secure the Manchester United forward on a permanent deal:

Considering Lingard wasn’t getting any game time at United, and he has been given a new lease of life at West Ham, it is not surprising he would be keen on remaining with the Irons.
The England international’s four goals and two assists in six appearances since he arrived at the London club demonstrate he can play a key role going forward.
