Lingard scored nine goals and recorded five assists for West Ham during a successful loan spell. He scored 35 goals while playing for Manchester United.
West ham's first signing of the summer window was defender, who joined from Rennes for £30m, and they also activated an option to buy goalkeeper, who played for Paris Saint-Germain last season.
The Hammers are looking to improve their squad ahead of the upcoming season that will see them compete in the Europa League for the first time.
