Fans have gotten a peek into JESSE LINGARD’s new life in South Korea.
Earlier this month, the former midfielder for Manchester United completed a free transfer to Seoul FC.
After leaving Nottingham Forest in the summer, Lingard went seven months without a club until joining the K-League team.
Following his adjustment to life in the city of South Korea, Lingard has uploaded a number of photos to Instagram.
He posted a photo of himself wearing his new Seoul FC shirt and smiling inside Sangam Stadium as part of his life update.
Additionally, Lingard shared a photo of himself with the club, signing a £17,500-a-week contract.
With his contract for an estimated £910,000 annually, he is now the highest paid player in the K-League.
Outside the stadium, Lingard and his teammates enjoyed some regional cuisine while taking great views of the city skyline.
In addition, he shared two photographs of himself wearing his new training gear and a screen grab from a Facetime conversation with his parents.
The 31-year-old concluded by including a motivational saying that said, “Becoming the best version of yourself comes with a lot of goodbyes.”
After completing his shocking switch to South Korea earlier this month, Lingard was greeted as a hero.
Since the new K-League season is scheduled to start on March 1, he has not yet made his Seoul debut.
The six-time winners placed ninth in the previous campaign.
Former Premier League midfielder Ki Sung-yueng, a South Korean international, is a member of their squad.
The 35-year-old played for Swansea, Sunderland, and Newcastle in 187 Premier League games.
