Brentford keen on loan swoop for Watford's Jerome Sinclair as Reading and Aston Villa eye move for Bees forward Scott Hogan

Brentford are lining up a loan deal for Watford striker Jerome Sinclair with Scott Hogan looking set for a possible exit in January.

Aston Villa and Reading are among the clubs interested in signing Hogan but Brentford would hold out for bids upwards of £7.5milllion.

Brentford are determined to recoup the kind of money Burnley had to pay for Andre Gray but are already making plans in case Hogan does leave, with Sinclair the prime target.
