Premier League transfers 2022-23: Jesse Lingard joins newly promoted Nottingham Forrest
The England international was offered chances in cup outings, making 22 appearances across all competitions and scoring twice, but the decision was taken not to renew his contract.
Lingard was repeatedly linked with a move back to West Ham, where he enjoyed a fruitful loan spell in the second half of the 2020-21 season, finding the net nine times in 16 top-flight appearances.
Newcastle United were also said to be interested in the midfielder, alongside a host of clubs in Europe. But the 29-year-old opted to join newly promoted Forest on Thursday, signing what has been widely reported as a one-year deal.
