Jesse Lingard has stressed that the influence of Vangelis and Miltiadis Marinakis was a catalyst in his decision to sign for Nottingham Forest while underlining that he is aiming for a place in England's World Cup squad.
Lingard has joined the Premier League newcomers on a one-year deal after leaving Manchester United on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old was instrumental in England's run to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and despite not being named in Gareth Southgate's Euro 2020 squad, he has not given up hope of returning to the England manager's plans for Qatar this winter.

The role of Vangelis and Miltiadis Marinakis
Nottingham Forest overcame the competition from Everton and Newcastle thanks to the quick moves of Miltiadis Marinakis in particular. Jesse said characteristically about father and son Marinakis: "They played a huge role.
They showed me love, they were very aggressive with their approach. You love this, you want to see this love and how much they wanted me to come to the club."
And Mangala with 15 million euros
But Nottingham does not stop strengthening its team. He agreed with Stuttgart and takes the 24-year-old Belgian international midfielder Orel Mangala by paying the amount of 15 million euros.
So far, Nottingham has spent around 82 million euros on the transfer of 11 players.
New stadium in 2 years
Meanwhile Nottingham Forest's determination to re-establish itself as one of England's elite clubs will see a new City Ground "fully operational" within two years.
The Board of Directors has already taken this decision and before the end of the 23-24 season a new 10,000-seat stand will have been used. If planning permission is granted, Forest aim to demolish their older stand (named after Peter Taylor, Brian Clough's former assistant from the club's European days) and replace it with a modern structure within a year.
Radcliffe 's board meets on July 28 to discuss the proposals, which were originally announced in 2019, and for the first time there is a timetable for what will happen if, as expected, the club is given the go-ahead.
"In terms of phasing, it is expected that the Peter Taylor Stand will be demolished at the end of the current football season," says a report drawn up by Rushcliffe's planning committee.
"Construction is to be phased in which can enable the lower tier to operate first, with the intention that the upper stand will be fully operational by the end of the next football season."
The council is recommending approval of the plans, despite objections from some of its members and two residents' associations. But the plan will be costly for Nottingham Forest with many approx more ways than just tearing down a base and putting in a replacement.
As part of the planning conditions, Forest agreed to pay more than £1m to improve local buses, £200,000 for improvements to cycle access and £150,000 for motorway works near the stadium.
Nottingham are also seeking planning permission for a 13-storey block of flats, comprising 170 properties, which they will sell to help fund the new stand. However, the influx of so many young people means various other conditions.
Forest, estimate that modernizing the ground, increasing capacity by around 5,000, will benefit the city to the tune of £802 million by 2032.
