Forest star regrets not joining West Ham United in summer

Nottingham Forest attacker Jesse Lingard will regret not joining the Hammers, claims transfer insider Dean Jones.

Although he ended up making a surprise transfer to Nottingham Forest, the England international spent most of the summer window being heavily connected with a return to East London.

But with the parties unable to come to an agreement, Lingard found a new team and signed an £80k-a-week deal with Forest just two weeks before the season began.

“I think you should regret it. It was clearly a better environment for him, he would have played, he was successful there. There could be any number of reasons why he chose Nottingham Forest instead, but I think it was a mistake.” – said Dean Jones for GiveMeSport.

The 29-year-old is yet to register a Premier League goal or assist for his new club.
