JESSE LINGARD was mobbed by fans as he arrived in South Korea to complete his FC Seoul transfer… and was bizarrely handed a flute.

The former Manchester United star, 31, has been without a club since the summer when his one-year deal at Nottingham Forest came to an end.

He was linked with a host of teams including West Ham and Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq – both of whom he trained with.

But now he finally looks set to put pen to paper with South Korean side FC Seoul.

The attacking midfielder landed at Incheon airport and was greeted by a swarm of fans.

Lingard was seen walking through the terminal as locals desperately tried to catch a glimpse of the ex-England international.

And he was also given a flute by one fan – referencing his celebration where he pretends to play the instrument.

Sungmo Lee, a Korean journalist, reports that Lingard’s medical exam is set for Tuesday.

He will then instantly reunite with his new teammates, assuming everything goes as planned.

In addition to winning the K League six times, FC Seoul has advanced twice to the Asian Champions League final.

Ki Sung-yeung, a former midfielder for Swansea and Newcastle, is part of their squad.

In 20 games for Forest, Lingard only managed two goals and two assists.
