Jesse Lingard's FC Seoul home debut sets a new K League attendance record as fans queue in numbers to buy his club merchandise before kick-off

Jesse Lingard's home debut for FC Seoul has set a new K League attendance record.

The 31-year-old completed a surprise move to the South Korean club last month after being released from his Nottingham Forest contract at the end of last season.

Lingard's arrival promoted massive excitement ahead of his home debut against Incheon United on Sunday.

A 'Lingard Zone' was set up outside the stadium prior to the match so fans can get a hold of the former Manchester United forward's FC Seoul merchandise.

A massive crowd of 51,670 packed into the Seoul World Cup Stadium to get a glimpse of Lingard in the Gyeongin Derby, setting a new attendance record in the K League in the process.
