With the Sun reporting that we’re interested in Jordan Hugill, we can again get excited about the prospect of another top forward coming to the club.
Of course, we’ll have to express caution too because, as we’ve seen, a link can mean nothing but even so Hugill is a player that would improve our side.
And, helpfully, Phil Hay has confirmed that he is available in a conversation with fans on Twitter who asked about the striker:
Leeds were keen on him last summer but didn’t want to pay Preston’s asking price. Wouldn’t rule that one out.

he’s at West Ham and seemingly available on loan

A loan deal would surely suit us fine with him capable of scoring for fun at this level.
We’ve not been great in the window so far, though, so let’s try and see this one through.
The Verdict
Hugill would be a fine arrival and one I’d like to see even if it is only on loan.
He scored goals easily at Preston as well as leading the line superbly and, as he is available, we should really look to try and get after him.
