Seoul, South Korea CNN —Former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has signed for South Korea’s FC Seoul in a surprise move that ends the England international’s months-long search for a new club.
He also impressed for England at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, where the team reached the semi-finals.
Following a successful loan spell with Premier League side West Ham in 2021, Lingard made a permanent transfer to newly promoted Forest, becoming the team’s highest-paid player.
FC Seoul, South Korea’s oldest professional club, finished seventh in the top division last year.
The new K League season begins next month, when Lingard could make his debut in FC Seoul’s clash with Gwangju FC on March 2.
