Is Free Agent Jesse Lingard’s Future in the Saudi Pro League?
Jesse Lingard has been out of the world of competitive football since his contract at Nottingham Forest expired. He has so far failed to get a club to play his trade, leading him to the current tone-month training program at Al-Ettifaq.
Lingard has recently been pictured in training with Jordan Henderson, Demaray Gray, and Georginio Wijnaldum as he works on his fitness alongside the Al-Ettifaq players.
As a free agent, Lingard can sign for any club even if the transfer season is closed. His presence at Al-Ettifaq might be an opportunity for Lingard to impress manager Steven Gerrard.
Gerrard is still assessing his squad to determine whether Jesse Lingard will be a valuable addition. This is especially crucial as Al-Ettifaq have made an impressive start to their Saudi Pro League campaign.
Up next for Al-Ettifaq is a clash on Sunday against a good Al-Ahli Saudi side on Saturday, where they will face another familiar face in Roberto Firmino leading Al-Ahli’s attack.
