Brentford are looking to take Burnley striker Daniel Agyei on loan as a replacement for West Ham target Scott Hogan.
Slaven Bilic wants Hogan, who has hit 13 goals so far this season, to bolster his attack and Brentford boss Dean Smith expects his his star striker to go in January.
Smit is already making plans for his departure, with a loan move for Agyei lined up.
The 19-year has just been recalled from a successful loan spell at Coventry City, and Clarets boss Sean Dyche is prepared to let him get more experience in the Championship.
