West Ham are closing on a £12.5million deal for Brentford striker Scott Hogan. The clubs have held further talks this weekend and hope to reach a conclusion with Brentford due to pay a 30 per cent sell-on to Hogan's former club Rochdale. The 24-year-old was left out of Brentford's side to face Eastleigh on Saturday.

He has scored 14 goals this season after battling back from knee ligament surgery and under-fire manager Slaven Bilic hopes he can have an immediate impact on his misfiring Premier League side.

West Ham have also asked about Southampton's Shane Long and had a bid for Hull winger Robert Snodgrass rejected. They are also waiting to see if Jermain Defoe will ask to leave Sunderland before returning with an improved bid.

Misfit Sofiane Feghouli, who has failed to impress since joining from Valencia in the summer, is talking to Roma.

The Italian side have also spoken to Chelsea about Charly Musonda and Everton regarding Gerard Deulofeu but Roma coach Lucaino Spalletti said: 'The focus is shifting towards Feghouli, that is true.

'You're writing it anyway, so there's no point disguising the fact. The other options have cooled rather.' Former West Ham loanee Simone Zaza is close to joining Valencia who have also asked Juventus for Patrice Evra on loan.

West Ham lynchpin Dimitri Payet is growing increasingly disgruntled at the club. The 29-year-old was in France on Saturday for a charity game while Marseille have expressed an interest in re-signing him but will fall short of West Ham's valuation.

Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini is a target for a host of sides including WBA and Everton

West Bromwich Albion have made a move for Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini.

The 25-year-old is also a target for Wolfsburg and Southampton while Everton and Stoke have asked to be kept informed. Wolfsburg were in pole position but have asked to take Gabbiadini on loan with view to a £15million transfer in the summer while Albion, who also tried to sign him in August, would take him now.

Manager Tony Pulis retains an outside hope that Saido Berahino will agree terms on a new contract though Stoke are pushing to sign him this month.

Pulis has also made an offer for Sporting Lisbon's Portugal international midfielder William Carvalho, who has a £38million buy out clause, though Albion have also asked about Everton midfielder James McCarthy, as have Aston Villa.

Morgan Schneiderlin has been linked with a move to Everton, who have increased their offer

Everton are making an improved £22million offer for Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin in a bid to push through a deal this week.

Schneiderlin has indicated he wishes to move to Goodison and link up with former manager Ronald Koeman with personal terms already outlined.

Everton want to bolster their midfield with Idrissa Gana Gueye on African Nations duty while West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa have enquired in the past week for James McCarthy.

Tom Cleverley is another Everton midfielder on the periphery of Ronald Koeman's plans

Watford are the latest club to ask for Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley.

Newcastle United, Burnley and Aston Villa also want the 27-year-old though Everton have said he can only leave on a permanent deal at this stage.

Watford may enquire again at the end of the window in the hope Cleverley will be allowed to leave on loan.

Everton have turned down offers from Rennes and Lille for Belgian forward David Henen.

Patrick Bamford is set to return to Chelsea after his loan move at Burnley failed to work out

Burnley have made a bold enquiry to sign Inter Milan full-back Yuto Nagatomo on loan. The 30-year-old Japan international is under contract until 2019 and Inter would prefer to offload Davide Santon.

Middlesbrough, meanwhile, are hopeful of signing Patrick Bamford on loan from Chelsea once his deal with Burnley is cancelled.

Mamadou Sakho could be sent out on loan while Tiago Ilori is heading out of Liverpool

Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho is a loan target for Sevilla.

The Spanish side are keen to sign the 26-year-old but may struggle to match his £80,000 a week salary and pay a loan fee.

Galatasaray, West Brom, Crystal Palace, Southampton and Lille have considered the France international who is free to leave Liverpool after falling out of Jurgen Klopp's plans.

Tiago Ilori's £3.75m transfer to Reading, which includes a 25percent sell-on clause, is expected to go through this week.

With Lee Grant's move now permanent at Stoke, Jakob Haugaard is set to be allowed on loan

Stoke City goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard has joined Wigan Athletic on loan.

The 24-year-old Dane has fallen behind Lee Grant and Shay Given in the pecking order with his only appearance in the Checkatrade Trophy. Wigan missed out on Sam Johnstone who joined Aston Villa from Manchester United.

Manager Warren Joyce is continuing to monitor Ravel Morrison who has joined up with the club for training. Derby County, meanwhile, have enquired about Wigan winger Yanic Wildschut.
