West Ham striker Jordan Hugill has returned to training with the Hammers after his loan spell at Middlesborough has ended.
The 26-year-old comes back to the London Stadium ahead of West Ham’s final game on Sunday against Watford at Vicarage Road.
Hugill was sent out on loan by Manuel Pellegrini after David Moyes, the man who bought Hugill, was sacked by the club. He had only made three appearances for the Irons before being sent away to the Championship.
The Englishman has managed a fairly unconvincing season, scoring seven goals in his 37 appearances for the Teesside outfit.
However, once the season comes to a close, the Gazette Live reports Hugill is one of many other players not included in Pellegrini’s plans for the squad next season and is likely to be shipped out again permanently.
Should the Hammers take all three points on Sunday, they could go to ninth place if Chelsea beat Leicester on the final day.
It won’t be enough for a spot in Europe, but Pellegrini will be doing everything he can to bolster the squad and push the Irons up the table next season.
