Jesse Lingard, a former midfielder for West Ham and Manchester United, has reached an agreement to sign a two-year contract with FC Seoul of South Korea.

After completing a medical examination, the 31-year-old is in Seoul to complete his relocation.

Since leaving Nottingham Forest in the summer of last year, Lingard has not been with a club.

After a tryout in October, he was hesitant to join Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia.

Due to his frustration with many inquiries not being fulfilled, Lingard fired his representatives, including those from his own family, last month due to a lack of interest from the Premier League.
