West Ham United forward Jordan Hugill has struck three goals in his last three games for Middlesbrough.

Middlesbrough fans have criticised West Ham United loanee Jordan Hugill for diving in his last appearance.

Hugill was selected to start for Boro against Preston North End, and the West Ham forward went down very easily in the last minute.

The target-man was booked for simulation, and Boro fans have noticed to Hugill does have a tendency to look for fouls.

Hugill has been in good form for Middlesbrough of late, but the Riverside crowd have called for the West Ham loanee to cut out the diving.

Middlesbrough ended up drawing 1-1 with Preston, with Tony Pulis’ side coming from behind to claim a point.

Hugill may well be playing his way into a move away from West Ham, as he appears to have little future at the London Stadium.

The powerful forward signed for West Ham in January, but he barely featured before being shipped out by Manuel Pellegrini.

Hugill didn’t score last night, but he does have three goals in his last three appearances at Boro.
