WEST HAM are close to wrapping up the transfer of Brentford’s Scott Hogan in a deal worth £15million.

The Hammers have already had three bids turned down, the last one being a £12.5m offer.

But boss Slaven Bilic hopes to seal the deal within the next week to strengthen the club’s attacking options.

West Ham and Brentford have been arguing over add-ons rather than the initial up front payment of £9m – with Rochdale due to land 25 per cent of that fee.

That will be a massive boost for the League One promotion-chasers.

Depending on Hogan’s success, Brentford could then land a further £6m for a player who arrived for just £750,000 in 2014.

Hogan, 24, who has scored 14 times this season, has 18 months left on his contract.

Bilic is desperate to land another striker with high profile summer loanees Simone Zaza and Jonathan Calleri spectacularly failing to live up to expectations.

And his side were humiliated 5-0 in the FA Cup Third Round by Man City last week.

It had previously been thought that Brentford were looking to complete a deal for Watford's Jerome Sinclair before letting Hogan go, but it appears the £15m fee has forced their hand.
