QPR eyeing loan deal for Premier League striker

QPR are exploring the possibility of a loan move for West Ham United striker Jordan Hugill, according to The Sun journalist Alan Nixon.

The 26-year-old joined the Hammers in January from Preston North End for £10 million but played just three games for them in the Premier League.

West Ham are keen to offload Hugill this summer and he is the subject of interest from Championship side QPR. Their new manager, Steve McClaren, is keen to bolster his side over the summer and has identified Hugill as a top target.

Prior to making the move to the top flight, Hugill had managed 23 Championship goals in three seasons with Preston and eyebrows were raised when he made the move to West Ham.

He started his career in non-league and worked his way up the football pyramid. Hugill had stints at Marske United, Seaham Red Star, Consett, Jerez Industrial and Whitby Town before he was snapped up by Port Vale in 2013.

Hugill spent a season with Port Vale and scored 5 goals in 24 appearances for them in League One before spending the rest of the campaign on loan at Gateshead. He managed 5 goals in 7 games in the Conference (now National League) with them and this earned him a move to Preston in June 2014.

He turned out to be an inspired signing by Preston and they made a hefty profit on him. Hugill has proven that he can score goals at Championship level and will be looking to get his career back on track this summer. He would be a decent signing for QPR.
