Al Ettifaq are reportedly set to offer Jesse Lingard a pre-contract with a view to signing him in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The former England international joined Steven Gerrard’s side on a training contract last month as he continues to look for a new club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And his long search for a new team could come to an end in the winter transfer window after impressing manager Steven Gerrard, according to Fabrizio Romano.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It has also been reported that former Liverpool stars Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum have been pushing for Lingard to join the Saudi Arabian club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The final decision will come down to the player, who has been a free agent since his departure from Nottingham Forest in the summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lingard failed to make an impact in Steve Cooper’s side last season, making just 17 league appearances.<\/p>\n
After Forest opted not to extend his deal over the summer, the 30-year-old has been without a club, but trained with West Ham in August.<\/p>\n
Lingard enjoyed a blistering six-month spell at the London Stadium in 2021, scoring nine goals and registering five assists in 16 appearances in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
David Moyes’ side, however,\u00a0ultimately chose not to re-sign\u00a0him this summer, prompting his move to the Middle East.<\/p>\n
Should Lingard, who has not featured in a competitive match since a two-minute cameo against Manchester United in April, be offered to stay long-term in Dammam he would be reunited with former England team-mate Henderson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The former Premier League contingent at Al-Ettifaq also includes Demarai Gray, Moussa Dembele and Wijnaldum.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Al-Ettifaq are seventh in the Saudi Pro League with 17 points after 10 games, nine adrift of league leaders Al-Hilal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
