Transfer gossip: Speculation over Hogan’s future continues

Brentford striker Scott Hogan has again been linked with a potential move to West Ham, this time by the Sunday Telegraph.

The Hammers and a number of Championship clubs have been linked with Hogan, who has scored 13 goals this season.

According to the Sunday Telegraph, West Ham see Hogan and Southampton’s Shane Long as alternative signings if they are unable to prise Jermain Defoe away from Sunderland.

The east London club’s head of recruitment Tony Henry is said to be pushing for a move for the 24-year-old.

Like the Daily Mail, the Sunday Telegraph suggest Brentford would want at least £10m in order to sell.

The Daily Mirror has recently reported that the Bees want £15m for Hogan, whose former club Rochdale would get a slice of any transfer fee.
