Jordan Hugill 'nearing West Ham United move'

West Ham United are reportedly nearing a deal for Preston North End forward Jordan Hugill.

The 25-year-old has scored 10 times in 29 appearances for Preston in all competitions this season.

Speculation linking the forward with a move to the London Stadium has gathered pace in recent hours, and according to Sky Sports News, West Ham are currently in advanced talks with Hugill over a move to the capital.

Hugill is believed to have handed in a transfer request last summer in a bid to force a move away from Deepdale.

West Ham are said to be hopeful of signing at least two new players before the winter transfer window slams shut on Wednesday night.
