Inside Jesse Lingard’s new life in South Korea as former Man Utd star gives fans glimpse into mega-money Seoul FC move
JESSE LINGARD has given fans a glimpse into his new life in South Korea.
The former Manchester United midfielder completed a free transfer to Seoul FC earlier this month.
Lingard joined the K-League side after seven months without a club following his exit from Nottingham Forest in the summer.
After settling into life in the South Korean capital, Lingard has shared a series of snaps to Instagram.
In the life update, he included a picture of himself grinning inside the Sangam Stadium whilst wearing his new Seoul FC shirt.
Lingard also posted a snap of himself signing his £17,500-per-week contract with the club.
His deal, which is reportedly worth £910,000 a year, has made him the highest paid player in the K-League.
Away from the stadium, Lingard showed off the city skyline and tucked into some local cuisine with his team-mates.
He also posted a pair of selfies of himself in his new training kit, along with a screenshot from a facetime call home.
Finally, the 31-year-old attached a motivational quote reading: “Becoming the best version of yourself comes with a lot of goodbyes.”
