Transfer gossip: Speculation over Bees duo

Brentford could lose striker Scott Hogan and midfielder Alan Judge in January, The Sun say.

Hogan, who has scored 13 goals in 22 games this season, is apparently being lined up by Aston Villa as a replacement for Rudy Gestede, who has been linked with West Brom, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough.

Reading and Bristol City are among the other teams said to be keen on signing Hogan.

The Sun also believe Judge could join Newcastle when the window reopens for £600,000.

Judge, who is working his way back from a long-term injury, previously discussed a move to St James’ Park and a deal in principle appears to be in place.
