Plenty of West Ham United fans are jumping into Queens Park Rangers’ social media comments to laud loanee striker Jordan Hugill, who found the net again last night against Swansea City.
QPR may have lost 3-1 on the night, but Hugill is providing to be a handful for Championship defences as he glanced a header into the far corner to make it 1-1 on 66 minutes.
Since his £10million move to the London Stadium from Preston North End in 2017, the 27-year-old has featured just three times for West Ham and spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, where he scored seven goals in 41 games.
Four games down with QPR and he’s already only five goals off that tally, and Hammers fans are loving the form he’s showing:

READ WEST HAM’S VERDICT
It was strange enough to see David Moyes make Hugill his second signing as manager mid-way through a Championship season with Preston where he had netted eight times in 27 appearances.
His move has gone as many expected though and now aged 27, with the summer arrivals of Sebastien Haller and Albian Ajeti in mind, it’s quite clear Hugill isn’t in Manuel Pellegrini’s plans.
Irons fans are right to support the striker whilst he’s out on loan though and it’s great to see him doing well, which will hopefully lead to a permanent move in around 12 months’ time.
