Jesse Lingard took part in a 'Jurgen Klopp-style' post-match tradition with his FC Seoul team-mates as he continues to settle into life in South Korea.

Lingard had been without a club since being released by Nottingham Forest in the summer before signing with the K League 1 side last month.

He didn't enjoy a dream debut when coming off the bench for the final 13 minutes of a 2-0 defeat to Gwangju, as he got booked in added time.

His first start for the club came a week later, as he played 60 minutes in a 0-0 home draw against Incheon.

But Lingard was finally involved in a win in front of his own fans on Saturday, with Seoul securing a 2-0 win over Jeju. The former Manchester United midfielder played the final 33 minutes.

After the match, he took part in an FC Seoul tradition, which you can watch below.

The tradition involves FC Seoul players standing in front of the club's fans - who chant the player's name - before performing three fist pumps, like Liverpool boss Klopp.

In terms of the Seoul playing squad, Lingard isn't the only player with Premier League experience.

The side is captained by Swansea cult hero Ki Sung-Yeung, who scored the second goal in his team's 2-0 win over Jeju.

Elsewhere, the attendance for Lingard's first home match for his new club earlier this week broke a K League record.

Thousands of spectators also queued in the 'Lingard Zone' - a special merchandise area at the club's stadium that was created due to the incredible demand that accompanied the midfielder's arrival in South Korea.

It was subsequently confirmed that 51,670 supporters were in attendance for the Gyeongin Derby - an official K League record.

The previous record was also held by FC Seoul, who attracted a crowd of 45,007 to their 66,000-capacity stadium to watch a game against Daegu in 2018.
