Arsenal are reportedly keen to beat West Ham United to the signature of Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard during this summer's transfer window.

The 28-year-old has scored six times and registered four assists in eight appearances for West Ham since joining the Hammers on loan from Man United in January.

David Moyes's side, who are currently challenging for a top-four spot in this season's Premier League, want to sign the England international on a permanent deal in the upcoming market.

However, according to The Sun, Arsenal will attempt to beat their London rivals to the attacker's signature.

Lingard's existing deal with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side is due to expire next summer, and a recent report claimed that he could be available for £30m in the upcoming market.

Roma, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad are also thought to be keeping a close eye on the developments surrounding the Englishman. body check tags ::
