Brentford reject West Ham bid for Hogan

Brentford have rejected an offer of £10m from West Ham for striker Scott Hogan.

The Hammers’ bid comes after Premier League rivals Watford also made an enquiry about the 24-year-old’s availability.

Although the Hornets have not tabled a formal offer, they are one of a number of clubs to show an interest in him.

Reading have had a bid rejected, while Newcastle and Aston Villa have also previously been linked with Hogan, who has 14 Championship goals to his name this season.

His former club Rochdale would get a slice of any transfer fee if Brentford – who valued him at around £15m – choose to sell.

Hogan has 18 months of his contract at Griffin Park remaining.
