The Preston forward is open to joining Wolverhampton Wanderers it seems.

Preston's Jordan Hugill celebrates scoring their second goal

The Express and Star have reported that Preston North End striker Jordan Hugill would be open to joining Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer.

HITC Sport reported in early May that then-Wolves boss Paul Lambert had submitted a £2 million bid for the 24-year-old forward.

But the trail has gone cold after the Scottish manager left Molineux on May 30.

The Express and Star claim that Hugill, who scored 12 goals in 44 Championship outings last season, is willing to join Wolverhampton Wanderers but new manager Nuno Espirito Santo has other options.

However, it states that the 43-year-old coach would consider Hugill in the event that his other striking options do not materialise.

If Nuno’s primary targets fail to land, and he does move on the Preston man, then surely an offer in excess of £2 million is needed following reports that their first offer was for that amount.
