After being announced as Corinthians' new signing last Friday (6th), the English midfielder Jesse Lingard, 33, paid a visit to the club's Trophy Memorial, located at Parque São Jorge, over the past few hours. The player is already participating in activities with the squad led by coach Dorival Júnior and is expected to be officially presented at a press conference in the coming days.

The player landed in São Paulo between the end of the night and early morning last Sunday (1st), at Guarulhos Airport. Central do Timão was present at the location and closely followed Jesse's arrival on Brazilian soil. The midfielder signed a contract valid until December of this year, with the possibility of a one-year extension, depending on his performance during the period.

The announcement of the player by Corinthians generated major international buzz, even being reported by Manchester United, the club where he was developed. Jesse Lingard was seen as a market opportunity, as he was a free agent after a standout spell at FC Seoul in South Korea.

The new number 77 for Alvinegro was the club's seventh signing for the season. So far, the Parque São Jorge club, in addition to him, has already acquired: defender Gabriel Paulista, right-back Pedro Milans, defensive midfielder Allan, midfielder Matheus Pereira, midfielder Zakaria Labyad, and forward Kaio César. All arrived as free agents or on loan, following the club's market policy, as it faces a severe financial crisis.

Jesse Lingard is the second Englishman to wear the Corinthians shirt. The first was striker Kazim, between January 2017 and mid-2018. Before making his debut for Corinthians, he must be registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) in the coming days. The player is still awaiting the release of the necessary documentation so that his contract can be published in the entity's control system.

Meanwhile, the player is already training with the Alvinegro squad, which returns to the pitch next Wednesday (11th), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Coritiba at Neo Química Arena, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão.

The Corinthians Memorial is open from Tuesday to Friday, from 10 am to 5 pm, and on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 10 am to 4 pm. The price of the visit ranges from R$ 5.00 (half-price – club members and Fiel Torcedor do not pay) to R$ 10.00 for the full ticket.
