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.

Locals were frantically trying to get a sight of the former England star when Lingard was spotted strolling through the station.

Additionally, one of his fans gave him a flute in reference to the celebration in which he plays the instrument fictitiously.

According to Korean journalist Sungmo Lee, Lingard’s physical is scheduled for Tuesday.

If all goes according to plan, he will then immediately reunite with his new comrades.

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.
