Aston Villa have been linked to Brentford pair.
Aston Villa are expected to be one of the more active clubs in the transfer window next month, as they look to climb to Championship table and get into play-off contention.
The club have been linked to a number of players in recent days, including Brentford duo Alan Judge and Scott Hogan.

The Guardian report Villa have entered the race for winger Judge, while the Birmingham Mail report Hogan is a top target.
Both players would improve Steve Bruce’s side’s attacking options, but if they could manage to grab both, it could be an outstanding piece of business, and a real game changer.
The pair have linked up successfully for Brentford, even though injuries to both have severely limited the time they have spent together on the pitch at Griffin Park.
Hogan is a player Judge rates highly, with the winger telling The Times in June: “From what I have seen over the last two or three years, Scott Hogan is the best striker in the Championship.”

If Hogan lives up to that billing, and he has 13 goals already this campaign, he alone would be an astute signing for Villa.
To sign Alan Judge with him, who struck 14 goals and provided 11 assists last year, could help the striker hit the ground running, and put Steve Bruce’s side right in the thick of the play-off mix.
