Norwich City have made an offer of £3 million for West Ham United forward Jordan Hugill, according to The Times.

However, according to the report, that bid is ‘well short’ of West Ham’s valuation of the 28-year-old forward.

The report has claimed that the Englishman cost the Hammers £8 million in transfer fees when they signed him from Preston North End in January 2018.

Disappointing West Ham United spell

Hugill has struggled to make an impact at West Ham, and, according to The Times, has not started a single league game for the Hammers.

The 28-year-old spent the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Middlesbrough in the Championship, and made 20 starts and 17 substitute appearances in the league, scoring six goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

The Englishman – described as a ‘hard-working, physical centre forward’ on West Ham’s official website in January 2018 – was on loan at QPR this past season, and he scored 13 goals and provided one assist in 39 Championship matches for the London club, according to WhoScored.

Good signing for Norwich City?

Norwich will be aiming to bounce straight back to the Premier League after getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the past season, and given Hugill’s goalscoring heroics in the second tier of English football, he would be a good signing for the Canaries.
