10 Last Minute Football Transfers That Could Still Go Down Before The Deadline Day

10. Jesse Lingard To Tottenham

It's fair to say that Jesse Lingard isn't everyone's favourite football player. In many ways embodying the modern footballer with his clothing brand, viral dance moves and annual disrespecting of Arsenal's Emirates home ground, he draws in plenty of critics from both inside and out of Manchester United.

And whilst the memes of him being an upcoming superstar are based on the very real fact that this is a player who hasn't, and probably won't, hit the heights once expected of him, Lingard can still be a very handy cog to have in a manager's machine.

Not only has he made it into the sides of three different managers now, but he's been trusted and relied on by all of them at certain points.

It was under Jose Mourinho that Lingard found the best form of his career, with the 2017/18 season being the highlight. 33 appearances, 5 assists, 1.27 key passes per ninety and 8 goals against the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and a wonderful solo goal at Vicarage Road that represented how handy Lingard can be as a squad player.

With Dele Alli teetering by the exit door at Tottenham, Mourinho's lost son could be the perfect replacement for the England forward.
