Former Manchester United and England midfielder Jesse Lingard has finalised a transfer to South Korean club FC Seoul.
Lingard has been without a club since his contract ended at Nottingham Forest at the conclusion of the previous season.
It is believed that the 31-year-old has inked a two-year contract with the K-League club, with the possibility of extending for an additional year.
Lingard mentioned that he had received numerous offers but opted for a fresh football experience in South Korea.
"I've always wanted a different challenge and to create new memories in my career," Lingard said in a YouTube video.
"I believe South Korea is the perfect place for that."
Warrington-born Lingard came through Manchester United's youth ranks to make his first-team debut under Louis van Gaal in August 2014.
He proceeded to make 232 appearances for United, scoring 35 goals as he assisted United in securing victories in the FA Cup, League Cup, and Europa League.
Lingard signed a one-year deal with Forest in July 2022 after his contract expired with the Red Devils.
Forest let him go in the summer after he made 20 appearances.
He mentioned that FC Seoul's determination to sign him before the transfer became public knowledge on deadline day in England played a role in convincing him to make the move.
"FC Seoul showed me great passion, sending me a concrete offer on paper while other clubs were contacting me verbally," Lingard said at a news conference.
"They also came to Manchester to check my physical condition as well."
It had been reported Lingard wanted to expand his off-field interests in esports, fashion and restaurant businesses in Korea but he said his career on the pitch was a key factor in the decision.
"I'll focus on football, my personal business is nothing to do with football. The most important thing to me is football," he added.
Lingard, who also had loan spells with Leicester, Birmingham, Brighton, Derby and West Ham, won the last of his 32 England caps in a 5-0 win over Andorra in October 2021.
