Sources: Jordan Hugill undergoing Rotherham United medical after deal agreed
Norwich City striker Jordan Hugill is set to undergo a Rotherham United medical after agreeing a deal, sources have told Football Insider.
The forward, 30, is poised to sign a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Millers after they beat multiple Championship clubs to his signature.
New Canaries boss David Wagner is keen to offload some fringe players to make room for any potential new arrivals at Carrow Road.
Hugill slipped well down the pecking order at Norwich and they have agreed to let him leave for Rotherham United this month ahead of his contract expiration in the summer.
Hugill will end his time at Norwich having scored just four goals in the Championship since his move in 2020.
He signed for the Canaries for £5million after they were relegated from the Premier League, but was limited to just seven starts in his first season due to a number of injuries and setbacks.
Norwich boss Daniel Farke still described Hugill as a “key player” in Norwich’s promotion season.
But there was no place for Hugill in Norwich’s Premier League squad, and he was sent out on loan to West Brom for the 2021/22 season.
He made 20 appearances for the Baggies, scoring once in the process before Norwich recalled him in January and instead sent him to Cardiff City.
Despite an impressive start with the Bluebirds and four goals in 18 appearances, Norwich still found no place for him upon his return this season.
