Moyes' wants Lingard-esque revival for Grealish
Four years ago, Jesse Lingard fell out of favour at Manchester United and was snapped up on loan by then-West Ham boss David Moyes. The results were spectacular, nine goals and five assists in just 16 appearances for the Hammers. At his opening news conference for the Premier League season, Moyes says he hopes new signing Jack Grealish can mirror that success. "He looks the same - big calves!" Moyes said on the England international. "You will have to turn up on Monday [to see if he will be involved against Leeds]. "The best example I can think of is when I brought Jesse Lingard to West Ham. He was probably not expected to be too successful, and maybe a little bit worn down, but he got himself back into the England team. "If Jack can do a bit of the Jesse Lingard, it will be a great story. It is a World Cup year and he is in good enough shape. I just need to get him enough time." The 29 year-old arrives at the Hill Dickinson stadium on loan - with an option to make the move permanent next summer. Moyes believes the forward can prove a solution in a number of areas on the pitch for his new side, as long as he is given the opportunity. "I think Jack can play in several positions, as a midfielder [as well as a winger]," Moyes added. "My aim is to get Jack in a creative postion where he can score and assist goals. It is a big challenge for Jack and I am looking forward to seeing how he responds to it."
