Brentford boss Dean Smith admits Scott Hogan is close to leaving.
The striker is set to join West Ham.
Smith dropped Hogan for Brentford's 2-1 defeat to Newcastle on Saturday at Griffin Park.
"There is speculation and we have had offers, but the valuation hasn't been met yet," he said.
"That is not to say that Scott is going.
"However, if he does end up going, and it is close I believe, then the decision was made for me."
