Keith Andrews wary as Ireland resume pursuit of Scott Hogan

Martin O’Neill plans to follow up on his interest in Scott Hogan over the coming weeks.

O’Neill has already made an approach in a bid to secure the services of the dual-eligibility Brentford man and has previously reported that the player retained “an open mind” about declaring for the Republic of Ireland.

However, Hogan also indicated that he needed more time to come to a decision and wanted to concentrate first on progressing for his club after suffering a brace of serious injuries last season.
