Leeds United and Queens Park Rangers reportedly want to sign Jordan Hugill from West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday and Queens Park Rangers all have been linked with Jordan Hugill, but the forward has suggested that he will stay at West Ham United next season, according to comments on the Premier League club’s official website.
According to Football.London, QPR and Wednesday are interested in signing Hugill on loan from West Ham in the summer transfer window.
The Sun has claimed that Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds want to bring the former Preston North End forward to Elland Road on loan this summer.
The 26-year-old forward, though, has indicated that he plans to stay at West Ham next season and work with manager Manuel Pellegrino.
Hugill told West Ham’s official website: “I’m really enjoying working under the manager and his coaches. His honours speak for themselves, so I can only learn from someone of his stature.
“It’s brilliant for me to come in and be around him and hopefully pick up everything that I can from him.”
The forward added: “I’d like to think I’ve improved since I came here. Training with better players week-in, week-out you’ll get better and personally I do feel as though my game has expanded over the past few months.
“For me, as a whole, I feel good about myself at the moment and hopefully there is a lot more to come.”
Good decision from Jordan Hugill?
Hugill struggled to make an impact at West Ham during the second half of last season following his move from Preston in the January transfer window.
The former Port Vale forward was able to play only 22 minutes of Premier League football for the Hammers, according to WhoScored.
However, with West Ham now having a new manager Manuel Pellegrini, it would make sense for the former Preston forward to at least test himself for the first half of the 2018-19 campaign.
