Queens Park Rangers 'favourites to sign Jordan Hugill on loan'

Queens Park Rangers are reportedly the favourites to sign West Ham United forward Jordan Hugill on loan for the 2018-19 campaign.

Hugill joined West Ham from Preston North End in the final stages of the January transfer window, but only played 22 minutes of first-team football for the Hammers in the second half of the season.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a move away from the London Stadium in recent weeks, and according to Football.London, QPR are the favourites to sign a player who is surplus to requirements at his Premier League club.

The report, however, claims that West Ham will not sanction a permanent move unless they can recoup the majority of the reported £10m that they paid for the striker in the early stages of 2018.

Hugill scored 10 times in 29 appearances for Preston in the first half of the 2017-18 campaign.
