Brentford striker Scott Hogan is set to join Aston Villa
Sky Sports say Aston Villa have agreed a fee in the region of £15million with Brentford for former non-league hitman Hogan.
West Ham had looked set to sign the 24-year-old this month but boss Slaven Bilic pulled out of the deal.
And now it seems that Villa will benefit with the player on his way to the Midlands for a medical.

Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol tweeted: “Aston Villa agree deal to sign Scott Hogan from Brentford. Up to £15m. Hogan on way to medical. Rochdale get £3m (20% sell-on fee).”
West Ham boss Bilic revealed he had pulled out of the move for Hogan because he was happy with his attacking options.
"He's a good player," added Bilic. "We watched him in many games but we have good strikers now in our squad and that's the reason why I didn't want that deal."
