West Ham have chance to make 'great double signing' at London Stadium

West Ham can pull off a great double deal by landing Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard and Burnley defender James Tarkowski this summer, claims journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Both players have been linked with moves to the London Stadium, and O’Rourke believes they would be fantastic additions to David Moyes’ squad.

Lingard and Tarkowski are likely to receive a host of offers from other clubs in the summer, with their contracts set to expire at the end of the season.

According to the Daily Mirror, West Ham are one outfit who are interested in signing Lingard, while TEAMtalk are reporting that the Hammers are also keen on Tarkowski.

The former spent the second half of the 2020/21 campaign on loan at West Ham and was a success there, making it no surprise that they want to sign him.

As for the latter, he has been on the east London club’s radar for a while now after being the subject of three bids back in 2020.

In total, Lingard has made 162 appearances in the top flight, while Tarkowski has made 187. In Lingard’s case, 16 of those came at West Ham during that brilliant loan spell.

Across those games, the England international came up with over 10 goal contributions to help
