West Ham United signed Jordan Hugill from Preston North End in the final hours of the January transfer window.

The Hammers are believed to have paid in the region of £10m for the 25-year-old, who scored 10 times for Preston in the first half of the 2017-18 campaign.

Hugill has only played 12 minutes of Premier League football since his arrival, with the likes of Javier Hernandez and Marko Arnautovic ahead of him in the pecking order.

It is going to be very interesting to see how many league minutes Hugill posts before the end of the season, especially with head coach David Moyes under huge pressure to pick up some results.

The West Ham fans have been reacting to the Hugill situation, and it would be fair to say that not many are too pleased.

It was a surprise when the Hammers signed the forward in January, and he cannot buy a Premier League start for love nor money.
