Former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard is about to finalise an unexpected transfer to FC Seoul in South Korea.
Since departing Nottingham Forest in the summer, the midfielder has been a free agent.
Lingard has reportedly verbally agreed to a two-year contract with FC Seoul, with the option to extend it by one more year, according to Sky Sports.
In the upcoming days, the 31-year-old is anticipated to take a plane to South Korea to finalise the transfer. In addition to winning the K League six times, FC Seoul have advanced twice to the Asian Champions League final.
Former Swansea and Newcastle player Ki Sung-yeung is a member of their squad; in 2023, he helped the team finish seventh.
The 31-year-old accepted Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq’s invitation to train in Saudi Arabia, but after spending time there, no agreement was ever reached for a transfer.
The Englishman is now ready to sign with FC Seoul of South Korea and the agreement is close to completion. In an attempt to find a new club, he sacked his representatives, including family members, and he has now been successful in gaining a move.
The Englishman had been furious that so many contract offers and enquiries had gone through since leaving Forest.
