West Ham flop Hugill set for Wigan transfer after earning £90k a MINUTE and scoring NO goals for Hammers

WEST HAM have agreed a £3million deal with Wigan to sell striker Jordan Hugill - and the flop is trying to agree terms.
The Hammers will let the striker go after an unsuccessful spell at the club with the Latics pushing the boat out to get him.
But Hugill, 27, is on around £40,000-a-week in East London and that is twice what Wigan want to give him.
The clubs are working on a compromise and the Hammers may yet give Hugill some of the fee they receive to persuade him to leave.
FLOP IN CLARET AND HU
His old club Preston - as well as West Brom and Leeds - are also said to be interested in the forward.
And after being left out of the Hammers' squad for their pre-season trip to China - despite only having one recognised striker on their books in Javier Hernandez - the writing seemed to be on the wall.
Despite a loan spell at Middlesbrough last season, Hugill's Hammers earnings make for eye-watering reading.
In the 76 weeks since he signed for the East Lononers, Hugill has made just three substitute appearances racking up a grand total of 35 first team minutes.
Having featured against Brighton, Watford and Southampton for no more than 15 minutes in each game he hardly represented value for money.

The 27-year-old's £40k-a-week wages saw him rake in £3.04m at West Ham which equates to £86,857.14 per minute of Premier League football.
Not a bad rate at all.
And as the Hammers will recoup just £3m of the whopping £10m they paid last year, the Teesider will soon become another name on the obscenely long list of expensive failed frontmen to have donned Claret and Blue since David Gold and David Sullivan took charge.
