Second most valuable clubless player
“It’s something I would consider as well. I wouldn’t rule it out,” said Jesse Lingard in the summer about a possible move to the Saudi Pro League. However, this did not happen at this point and the 30-year-old offensive player is still without a club. Lingard has been training with Al-Ettifaq FC under coach Steven Gerrard in recent weeks and the latter is now set to offer him a contract from January. That reports Fabrizio Romano.
The decision now rests with Lingard; Jordan Henderson (33) and Georginio Wijnaldum (32) at the club also spoke out in favor of the former England international. His contract with Nottingham Forest was not extended after a weak season. The offensive player contributed two goals and two assists in 20 games. Before his training time in Dammam, he had kept himself fit at West Ham United, where a commitment was also said to have been considered, as was the case with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The fact that Al-Ettifaq cannot sign Lingard immediately is due to the foreigner limit in Saudi Arabian football. In order not to completely overshadow the development of domestic players given the great financial appeal for top players from all over the world, the clubs can only register eight foreign professionals. In addition to Henderson and Wijnaldum, Gerrard can currently also count on ex-Mainz player Robin Quaison (30), Moussa Dembélé (27), former Leverkusen player Demarai Gray (27), Marcel Tisserand (30), who once played for Wolfsburg and Ingolstadt, in his team Ball was back, Jack Hendry (28) and goalkeeper Paulo Victor (36). All are used regularly.
