Queens Park Rangers are among the clubs being linked with the Aston Villa striker.

Queens Park Rangers’ chances of signing the Aston Villa striker, Scott Hogan, may have received a boost.

West London Sport claimed earlier this month that the QPR manager, Mark Warburton, is ‘hopeful’ of securing a loan deal for the player he took to Brentford five years ago.

And according to The Daily Mirror (June 28, page 63), Aston Villa are ready to ‘take a hit on Hogan’ in order to get him off the books.

The newspaper notes how Villa recently tore up the contract of another expensive but underperforming striker, Ross McCormack.

Although, it is unclear whether the newly-promoted side would look to replicate that with Hogan.

Either way, such a stance should make the £9 million Aston Villa recruit more attainable for QPR.

But the west London side are unlikely to be the only ones keen on Hogan, in whom Bristol City were previously credited with an interest.
