Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is seeing an unexpected fight for a player he didn’t want (Picture: Getty Images)There is set to be a battle for Jesse Lingard’s signature this summer, with Arsenal ready to fight it out with West Ham to sign the midfielder from Manchester United. Lingard had not played a single minute of Premier League football in the first half of the season at Manchester United but has slotted in beautifully under David Moyes at the London Stadium. With just one year remaining on his United contract, he is likely to leave in the summer, and the Daily Star reports that it is going to be a scrap between West Ham and Arsenal to tempt him to sign. West Ham did not have an option to buy in their loan agreement and David Moyes admitted last month that nothing has changed in Lingard’s situation. ‘But it is not something that we have taken any further than the situation we are in just now.’MORE : Paul Merson sends advice to Jesse Lingard over his Manchester United futureAdvertisementAdvertisementMORE : Manchester United ready to use Jesse Lingard in deal to sign Declan RiceFollow Metro Sport across our social channels, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
