Norwich City have reportedly targeted West Ham United striker Jordan Hugill ahead of their 2020/21 Championship campaign.

According to a report from The Daily Mail, the Canaries are ready to continue their rebuild by facilitating a move for the 28-year-old.

Hugill has made only a handful of appearances for West Ham since his reported £10 million move from Preston North End in January 2018 (BBC Sport).

He has had two loan spells at Middlesbrough and Queens Park Rangers, meaning he’s only turned out three times for West Ham’s first-team to date – all of those coming as a substitute.

There has been no indication from David Moyes that Hugill is in his plans for next season, meaning a permanent exit is probably likely.

TBR’s View – It hasn’t worked out

Unfortunately for Hugill, he’ll join the long list of strikers that have proven to be bad business by West Ham.

Hugill was actually signed by David Moyes during his first stint at the club. Then, of course, the Scot was not kept on as manager, making way for Manuel Pellegrini.

There may be an outside chance of Moyes wanting to take a look at the man he brought to the London Stadium, but realistically the Hammers need better quality options.

If Norwich offer between £5 million and £10 million, the Irons should probably cut their losses.
