Jordan Hugill was loaned to Middlesborough on a seven-figure loan fee plus 100% of his wages, the deal includes a bonus if Boro is promoted to the Premier League. Hugill was missing from action this weekend as he is suffering from a hamstring injury and is not expected to return for a little while but the Hammers are hoping it gets a lot of game time and does really well at the Riverside Stadium so they can recoup some of the £9m money they forked out for him.

Sam Byram was a different case with a lack of competition for his signature to take him on loan. West Ham were forced to subsidise his wages to enable his move to Forest to go through. Byram is thought to earn £30,000 per week with Forest picking up around £18,000 per week of that for the season. The Hammers will make up the difference and again the Hammers are hoping he gets a lot of game time to increase his value for a possible sale next Summer.
