Hammers ready to do cut price deal on striker

Despite reports to the contrary, the Hammers are ready to take half of the £10 million they paid out for Jordan Hugill.

Reports in the Northern Echo claim the Hammers will want their money back should Middlesbrough decide to make an offer for the player.

The reality is that after managing just seven goals from 34 appearances for his loan club manager Tony Pulis isn’t keen to do a deal for the 26 year old.

However, should he have a change of heart the Hammers would accept around £4m-£5m for the player signed by  David Moyes.

They would probably be lucky to get that sort of offer although there would probably be a chance were Boro to fail in their bid for a Premiership return.

Hugill may be able to do a job in the Championship at around that sort of fee but the PL looks a tad beyond him!.

Currently Boro look certs for the play offs with 67 points which puts them seven points off Sheffield United in second place and 11 off top placed Norwich.
