Middlesbrough and Aston Villa are eyeing up moves for West Ham striker Jordan Hugill this summer.
According to TEAMtalk, Middlesbrough are keen to bring Hugill in on a permanent deal, with the forward out of favour at West Ham.
Hugill joined West Ham from Preston in January in a deal thought to be worth in the region of £10 million.
The report claims that Middlesbrough will make their move for Hugill after they complete the signing of Martin Waghorn from Ipswich for £7m.
Hugill is said to be keen to join Middlesbrough, as he seeks regular game time next season.
Aston Villa are also interested in Hugill, but the forward grew up supporting Boro and would prefer a move to Teeside.
West Ham are lining up a swoop to sign Porto striker Moussa Marega, who scored 23 goals last season for the Portuguese outfit, which would cast further doubts over the amount of playing time he is likely to get this season.
Southampton and Everton are also both said to be in the race for the Mali international.
