West Ham back in for Bees striker Hogan

West Ham have made another approach for Brentford’s Scott Hogan.

The Hammers had a £10m bid for the striker rejected last week but remain interested and talks between the two clubs are ongoing.

Reading are also interested in Hogan, 24, and recently had a bid rejected, while Watford have made an enquiry.

Hogan has scored 14 goals this season and West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is an admirer of the former Rochdale forward, who has 18 months remaining on his contract at Griffin Park.

“He’s a good player. I watched him a few times,” Bilic said last week.

“He is very sharp, quick – a good finisher, doing it in Championship. He’s young and a good prospect.”
