Marc Pugh has not made a Premier League appearance for Bournemouth this season but could aid Hull’s shock Championship charge.
Marc Pugh may be Bournemouth’s longest serving player but there is no room for sentiment in modern football.
The experienced winger has made just three appearances for the Cherries this season and, according to Sky Sports, is now closing in on a loan move to Championship high-flyers Hull City.
The Tigers have been in magnificent form in recent weeks, transforming from relegation candidates into genuine play-off contenders after winning seven of their last nine league games.
Goals have not been in short supply with Jarrod Bowen, Evandro and Kamil Grosicki in top form and Pugh should only enhance Nigel Adkins’ free-scoring side further.
The skilful 31-year-old was a key figure as Bournemouth earned promotion to the Premier League in the 2014/15 season, scoring nine times and setting up five more in the second tier.
So a proven Championship performer like Pugh would be a welcome addition to Hull, particularly in a short-term loan deal which would circumvent the club’s lack of funds.
It seems that Bournemouth would be willing to let him go too with Eddie Howe failing to hand Pugh a Premier League appearance all season.
