West Ham United announced the signing of Preston North End striker Jordan Hugill before the January transfer window slammed shut on Wednesday night, and Irons fans were quick to have their say on the deal.

BBC Sport reports that the move to take the 25-year-old to the London Stadium was worth around £10m, with the team from capital seeing off competition from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace for the centre-forward, who scored 30 goals in 114 matches for North End.

Even though Hammers boss David Moyes was keen to do more business on Wednesday to bring a new midfielder to the club following an injury to Pedro Obiang against Wigan Athletic last weekend, the Scot had to make do with just the striker by the 11pm deadline.

West Ham supporters took to social media to give their thoughts on the addition of Hugill, and while one said "the Boleyn Ground didn't die for this", another said "shame he has signed when the morale is as low as it is".

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
