Days after meeting Gyakie, English footballer jams to Atumpan's 'The Thing' song

Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard has been jamming to a once popular Ghanaian track by Atumpan.

"The Thing" track was blasting in the player's car as he sang its chorus in joyous mood according to a video posted on his Instagram stories recently.

The video, reposted on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook has since elicited varied reactions with some linking it to Lingard's recent meeting with another Ghanaian artiste.

Ghanaian songstress, Jackline Acheampong professionally known as Gyakie last week shared a picture with the winger.

The RandB and Afro-Fusion artiste shared a selfie picture of herself and the player on Twitter while using a football emoji as a caption.

The tweet has generated reactions from some Ghanaians who were seemingly surprised by the picture. Gyakie, who is mostly based in the UK, is currently working on her soon-to-release album.

She performed at the Hype Fest concert in Germany over the weekend, a show that was headlined by Ghanaian hip-pop artiste Black Sherif.

Meanwhile, Lingard is a free agent after he was released by Nottingham Forest at the end of the 2022/2023 campaign.

The winger drew strong interest from some Major League Soccer sides but there were no official bids as he is currently without a club.
