West Ham United have reportedly had an offer rejected by Brentford for Scott Hogan.
West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has told Scotsman that he has watched Brentford striker Scott Hogan on a number of occasions.
West Ham have already made a bid for Hogan during the January transfer window, but it was rejected by Brentford.
The Bees are said to be holding out for £15 million for the 24-year-old – with West Ham’s initial offer falling short of that price tag.
It remains to be seen whether the Hammers will make a repeat offer for the clinical finisher.
Hogan is said by the Daily Mail to be desperate to move to the London Stadium, but Bilic was keeping his cards close to his chest when asked about West Ham’s interest in the striker.
“Scott is a good player, I’ve watched him a few times,” Bilic said. “He is scoring goals, he is very sharp, very quick, and a really good finisher. He does it in the Championship. He is really young, a really good prospect. But Hogan is not on our roster so that is it, basically.”
Hogan has scored 14 times in 25 Championship appearances for Brentford so far this season.
West Ham have also been linked with Jermain Defoe and Moussa Dembele, as their search for a new forward continues.
