Brentford have rejected a £10million offer from West Ham for star striker Scott Hogan.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is keen to add more firepower this month and has also targeted Sunderland's Jermain Defoe.

Watford, West Brom, Newcastle and Reading have also expressed an interest in Hogan, who has smashed 14 goals in 25 games this season.

The former Rochdale frontman still has 18 months remaining on his contract at Griffin Park, and the Bees are holding out for £15m plus add-ons for the 24-year-old hotshot.

Hogan signed for Brentford in 2014 for £750,000 from Dale, who are entitled to a percentage of the transfer fee.

If the Hammers bring in a new striker this month, it could see young forward Ashley Fletcher leave the club on loan.
