West Ham United are reportedly expecting to tie up a deal for Brentford striker Scott Hogan in the next 48 hours.
According to Sky Sports, Brentford striker Scott Hogan is expected to complete a move to West Ham United inside the next 48 hours.
The Hammers have been looking for a new striker given that summer signing Simone Zaza has already left the club having scored just one goal following a summer loan move from Juventus.
General view inside the London Stadium
Whilst a number of strikers have been linked with moves to the London Stadium, but it seems that the club have prioritised the signature of Brentford attacker Scott Hogan.
Sky Sports reported earlier this month that West Ham had failed with three bids for Hogan, who has starred this season with 14 goals in 26 games for the Championship club.

Hogan has enjoyed a meteoric rise from non-league football, and after an 18-month injury layoff between August 2014 and February 2016, Hogan is back fit and firing this season.
Now, West Ham are hoping to give Hogan a chance of playing in the Premier League, and Sky Sports claim that a deal to take the pacey striker to the London Stadium is expected to go through in the next 48 hours.
Hogan has been out of the Brentford squad since the 2nd of January, with the Bees seemingly now just waiting for the striker to leave the club for West Ham during this month’s transfer window.
It’s stated that Dimitri Payet’s anticipated departure from the club is holding up a move for Hogan, but the Hammers are confident that the deal will be done imminently, as Bilic finally lands some striking reinforcements.
