Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher has slammed Jesse Lingard over his move to Nottingham Forest.

The former Manchester United midfielder completed a move to the newly-promoted Premier League side last month after snubbing West Ham, who were also interested in his services.

Carragher said on the Overlap: "He [Jesse Lingard] went there [Nottingham Forest] for the money. I love Nottingham Forest, that they are back [in the Premier League].

"If any footballer is picking Nottingham Forest right now, before West Ham and what they've done in the last two or three years, they've obviously gone there for a few quid. And, the fact that he's only signed for a year means that next year on a free or Bosman [ruling].

"There's a good chance Forest could go down, but it puts Jesse Lingard in a good position if he gets eight to ten goals for them. But, if West Ham want you right now, I can't believe he never went to West Ham. It's brilliant for Nottingham Forest."
